Godiva Pumpkin Spice Coffee Flavored Cinnamon Rolls & Frozen Pumpkin Spice Coffee

More than a month ago, I received this wonderful gift in the mail...

Yes, Godiva Coffee again! But this time, it's Godiva's limited edition fall flavors: Pumpkin Spice and Caramel Pecan Bark. As I've mentioned before, I am not much of a coffee drinker. But the hubs is...and though he's not a flavored coffee person, he loves anything pumpkin and pecan so he was really so excited that I got this gift as part of Foodbuzz Tastemaker Program with Godiva. Ryan had tried both flavors and he said they are both good but he likes the Pumpkin Spice more. He really likes the combination of pumpkin, cinnamon and nutmeg flavors and finds it so perfect on a cool fall morning.

Yesterday, I thought of  giving myself the chance to experience how  good it is. Not as a regular hot coffee drink though. I made cinnamon rolls with it - Godiva Pumpkin Spice Coffee Flavored Cinnamon Rolls.

Sounds good??? Well it doesn't only sound good, it tastes really good too! The flavor of Godiva Pumpkin Spice Coffee worked so well in cinnamon rolls...and we all love it! Immediately after these cinnamon rolls came out of the oven, Ryan had one roll with a cup of plain and strong Godiva Pumpkin Spice Coffee. The girls had it with hot chocolate. And me...Guess what I paired it with!

I made myself this cold coffee treat...which is blended ¾ cup brewed Godiva Pumpkin Spice coffee, ¼ cup heavy whipping cream, 1/3 cup caramel syrup and 1 cup ice cubes, topped with cool whip & a little chocolate syrup. Hmmmm...it was so perfect with cinnamon roll!

This morning, the girls and I each had another roll with a glass of hot milk. We really love it! I'm definitely making these cinnamon rolls again! I better get some more packs of Godiva Pumpkin Spice Coffee before they're gone!

Ingredients:

• 1/4 cup milk or cream for basting

Dough:

• 4 cups bread flour
• ¼ oz. package active dry yeast
• ½ cup warm Godiva Pumpkin Spice coffee, brewed according to package instructions
• ½ cup warm milk
• ¼ cup sugar
• 1/3 cup butter
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 egg

Filling:

• ½ cup melted butter
• ¾ cup packed brown sugar
• 2 Tbsp ground cinnamon
• ¾ cup chopped pecans

Glaze:

• 4 Tbsp butter
• 2 cups confectioner's sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 4 Tbsp hot brewed Godiva Pumpkin Spice coffee

Procedure:

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, yeast, sugar and salt. Mix well. Add cofee, milk, butter and egg. Mix until well combined. Knead dough on lightly floured surface for 5 to 10 minutes. Place in well-greased bowl, cover and let rise until doubled in size, usually 1 to 1½ hours.

2. When doubled in size, roll out on a floured surface into a 15" by 9" rectangle. Spread melted butter evenly all over dough. Mix sugar, cinnamon and pecans and sprinkle over buttered dough. Beginning at the 15" side, carefully roll the dough into a log and pinch the edges to seal. Cut the log into 12 to 15 equal slices. (Mine didn't come out really equal in size. LOL)

3. Lightly grease the bottom of 13 x 9 x 2 inch baking pan with butter then sprinkle with sugar. Arrange cinnamon roll slices close together in the pan and let rise until dough is doubled, about 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Bake for 30 minutes or until nicely light brown. In the middle of baking brush cinnamon rolls with milk or cream.

4. Meanwhile, mix butter, confectioner's sugar and vanilla in a bowl. Add hot coffee 1 tbsp at a time until the glaze reaches desired consistency. Spread over warm rolls. Serve.
