8 rolls
ingredients
- 177.44 ml part-skim ricotta cheese (or cottage cheese)
- 78.78 ml low-fat buttermilk
- 59.14 ml sugar
- 56.69 g unsalted butter
- 4.92 ml vanilla extract
- 255.14 g all-purpose flour (about 2 cups)
- 14.79 ml baking powder
- 2.46 ml salt
- 1.23 ml baking soda
- 21.26 g unsalted butter
- 157.80 ml brown sugar, packed
- 7.39 ml cinnamon
- 2.46 ml ground allspice
- 1.23 ml ground cardamom
- 56.69 g mascarpone cheese, room temperature
- 118.29 ml powdered sugar (to taste)
- 14.79 ml milk
- 4.92 ml vanilla extract
directions
- Heat the oven to 400°F
- Grease the sides and bottom of a 8 or 9″ baking pan with cooking spray.
- Combine the ricotta cheese, buttermilk, sugar, melted butter, and vanilla in food processor and process until smooth, about 10 seconds.
- Add the flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda and pulse in short bursts just until the dough clumps together (don’t over-process).
- The dough will be soft and moist.
- Dump the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it with floured hands 4 or 5 times until smooth (it really only takes 4-5 times).
- With a rolling pin, roll the dough into a 12×15-inch rectangle.
- Brush the dough with the melted butter, leaving a 1/2-inch border unbuttered around the edges.
- In a medium bowl, combine brown sugar and spices.
- Sprinkle the mixture over the buttered area of the dough and press gently into the surface.
- Starting at a long edge, roll up the dough jelly-roll style. Pinch the seam to seal, and leave the ends open.
- With a sharp knife, cut the roll into equal pieces (8-12 pieces).
- Set the pieces, cut side up, in the prepared pan; they should fill the pan and touch slightly, but don’t worry if there are small gaps.
- Bake until golden brown and firm to the touch, 20 to 28 minutes.
- Set the pan on a wire rack to cool for 5 minutes.
- Run a spatula around the inside edge of the pan to loosen the rolls, and transfer them to a serving plate.
- In a small bowl, mix the softened mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla to make a smooth glaze.
- Add milk as needed to achieve desired consistency.
- Spread or drizzle onto warm rolls.
- Let stand 10 minutes (or as long as you can stand) and serve.

I'm 23 years old and I live in Trinidad. One of the islands in the Caribbean.
I love baking and have a major sweet tooth but I am trying to cook more savoury foods and I am enjoying trying new recipes.
Recently I have come to love photographing the food I make. Too bad they don't all come out photo worthy, but at least they still taste good! lol
