Fluffy Gingerbread Rolls are the ideal winter breakfast treat. A sweet and spicy, molasses-infused yeasted dough is rolled up with a gingerbread-inspired filling and topped with a vanilla cream cheese frosting. Plan on making the dough the night before and assembling them in the morning for freshly baked rolls!

To Make these Ahead of Time:
You are more than welcome to make them ahead a few different ways. The first way is the make the dough/filling/cream cheese frosting and place them all separately in the fridge overnight. The dough will proof slowly while in the fridge. You can continue the recipe in the morning, rolling the dough straight from the fridge, cold. This makes it easier to handle and slice. You will need to bring the filling and frosting to room temperature first before using them.
Another way is to assemble the gingerbread rolls and instead of setting them out on the counter to proof, transfer them to the fridge to proof overnight. You can bake them straight from the fridge as long as they have doubled in size.
