Creating Decadent Red Velvet Cinnamon Rolls is easier than you think! Follow these simple steps to whip up this indulgent treat:

1. Prepare the Yeast: In a small bowl, combine the warm milk, granulated sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.

2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, salt, and cocoa powder.

3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, red food coloring, and the yeast mixture until fully combined.

4. Make the Dough: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture, stirring until you form a soft dough. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.

5. First Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap or a kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

6. Prepare the Filling: In a medium bowl, mix the brown sugar and ground cinnamon. In a separate bowl, soften the butter and set it aside.

7. Roll Out the Dough: Once risen, punch down the dough and roll it out on a floured surface into a large rectangle (about 16×12 inches).

8. Spread the Filling: Spread the softened butter evenly over the dough, then sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture generously across the surface.

9. Roll and Slice: Starting from one long edge, tightly roll the dough into a log. Cut the log into 12 equal slices and place them into a greased baking dish.

10. Second Rise: Cover the dish with a towel and let the rolls rise for another 30 minutes while you preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

11. Bake the Rolls: Bake the cinnamon rolls for 20-25 minutes, or until lightly golden brown and cooked through.

12. Prepare the Frosting: While the rolls cool, whip together the cream cheese, softened butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth and fluffy.

13. Frost and Serve: Once the rolls have cooled slightly, spread the cream cheese frosting generously over the warm rolls.
