Cinnamon Rolls with Meringue Filling

These are not the classic cinnamon rolls you are used too. But let me assure you, these are just INCREDIBLE… sweet, smooth and very delicious.

The difference between these and the classic ones is the dough who is made with more butter that makes it very soft and the filling is made with whipped egg whites and cinnamon which creates quite a crispy top and soft, smooth interior. The aroma of freshly baked cinnamon rolls make them irresistible. Served with a fresh coffee turn into a delicious treat for breakfast or any time of the day.
