Ingredients
  • butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon chai spice
  • 1-2 tablespoons of milk or chai black tea if you want to amp up the chai flavor
  • small sprinkle which ends up being 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 1/2 tsp. ground cardamom
  • 1 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp. ground cloves
  • 1/2 tsp. ground ginger
  • 1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg
  • 2/3 cup light brown sugar
  • 1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 pack of frozen puff pastry with two sheets that has thawed out in the refrigerator for at least two hours. Trader Joe's has an amazing and reasonable option that is made with all butter.
  • 3 teaspoons of the chai spice mix (NOTE: I used my favorite chai spice from The Spice House to save time but if you would like, you can make your own! Recipe below)
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla
Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Lightly flour your surface and roll out one sheet of puff pastry until about 1/4 inch thick (leave the other sheet in the refrigerator).

Brush puff pastry with melted butter, leaving 1 inch of space around the edges. Evenly sprinkle puff pastry with half of brown sugar, chai spice mix and cinnamon just over buttered area. Tightly but gently roll the dough up. Use a little melted butter on the open edge of the roll to seal the seam. Using a sharp knife, slice the roll into six pieces.

Place each roll inside a parchment paper lined baking dish.

Place the dish in the refrigerator as you repeat the above steps with the last sheet of puff pastry.

Bake the cinnamon rolls in preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until golden (watch carefully!).While rolls are baking, make the icing. Beat butter until fluffy. Gradually add powdered sugar, then add milk or tea and flavorings. Increase amount of spice, or sugar until desired consistency and flavor are reached. Then place in the microwave for 10-20 seconds until it melts down and is pourable.

Drizzle over cinnamon rolls when they are fresh out of the oven and enjoy. Happy Baking!
