Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Warm the milk and activate the yeast by stirring in the yeast over lukewarm milk and letting it sit until frothy.
  2. Prepare the dough by mixing the yeast mixture with egg and melted butter, then gradually adding flour, brown sugar, and salt.
  3. Let the dough rise in an oiled bowl for about 1 hour until doubled in size.
  4. Make the filling by combining pistachio butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon until smooth.
  5. Roll out the dough on a floured surface and spread the pistachio filling evenly.
  6. Shape the rolls by tightly rolling the dough and cutting it into six pieces.
  7. Let the rolls rise for another 30 to 45 minutes until puffed.
  8. Bake the rolls in a preheated oven at 350°F for 23 to 30 minutes.
  9. Prepare the glaze while baking by mixing the cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla, and heavy cream.
  10. Once the rolls are baked, drizzle the glaze over them and serve warm.
