Making the Rolls
- Heat the milk, unsalted butter, and granulated sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat until the butter melts. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
- In a stand mixer, combine all-purpose flour, instant yeast, and salt. Gradually add the warm milk mixture and mashed banana. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.
- Knead the dough on medium speed for about 6-8 minutes until smooth and elastic. The dough should feel slightly sticky.
- Transfer the dough to a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise until doubled in size, about 1 to 1.5 hours.
- Punch down the risen dough and roll it into an 18x12 inch rectangle on a floured surface.
- Spread softened butter over the dough and sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon. Add banana slices on top.
- Roll the dough tightly from one long edge into a log and slice into 12 equal rolls.
- Place the sliced rolls into a greased baking dish, cover, and let them rise again for 45-75 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Pour warm heavy cream over the rolls before baking.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes until golden brown. Let them cool slightly.
- Beat together cream cheese and softened butter until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract.
- Spread the creamy frosting over the slightly warm rolls.
