Step-by-Step Instructions
- Warm the milk in a small saucepan with the unsalted butter and granulated sugar over low heat until melted and reaches 120-130°F. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- In a stand mixer bowl, combine all-purpose flour, instant yeast, and salt. Pour in the cooled milk mixture and mashed banana, mixing on low speed until a shaggy dough forms.
- Switch to a dough hook and knead the dough on medium speed for 6-8 minutes until smooth and elastic. Allow to rest.
- Place the kneaded dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 to 1.5 hours.
- Punch down the dough, roll it out into an 18x12 inch rectangle, spread softened butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and sliced bananas evenly over it.
- Tightly roll the dough from the long edge into a log and slice into 12 equal pieces.
- Arrange the sliced rolls in a greased baking dish, cover, and let rise again until puffy, about 45 to 75 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Pour heavy cream over the rolls, then bake for 30-35 minutes until golden brown.
- Beat together cream cheese and butter until smooth, gradually adding powdered sugar and vanilla until fluffy.
- Spread cream cheese frosting over the warm rolls to allow it to melt into the nooks and crannies.

Notes
Use a thermometer to check milk temperature. Don’t over-knead the dough to keep rolls fluffy. Can prepare up to the second rise and refrigerate overnight.
