Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, pour in warm milk and stir in the yeast and sugar. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
  2. Add melted butter, sugar, salt, and eggs to the yeast mixture. Mix together, then gradually add flour one cup at a time until a soft dough forms.
  3. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for about 1 hour.
  4. Roll out the dough into a rectangle, spread with softened butter, and sprinkle brown sugar and cinnamon evenly over the surface.
  5. Roll the dough tightly into a log, cut into 1-inch slices, pinch the bottom of each slice to form heart shapes, and let rise for 30 minutes.
  6. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes until golden brown. Allow to cool slightly.
  7. Beat together cream cheese, powdered sugar, melted butter, and vanilla until smooth. Drizzle over the warm rolls.
