Instructions

In a stand mixer bowl, combine warm milk and sprinkle yeast on top. Add eggs, melted butter, salt, cinnamon, and sugar; mix well.
Stir in carrots and coconut before incorporating flour until just combined. Let rest for about 5 minutes.
Use the dough hook to knead on medium speed for about 5–7 minutes until smooth and slightly tacky.
Transfer dough to a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm area until doubled in size (about 30 minutes).
Prepare the filling by combining softened butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a small bowl.
Roll out dough into a rectangle, spread the filling evenly, then roll tightly and cut into slices.
Place rolls in a greased baking pan, cover loosely with plastic wrap while preheating oven to 350°F; allow a second rise (20 minutes).
Pour warmed heavy cream over risen rolls before baking for about 27–30 minutes until golden brown.
For frosting, blend softened cream cheese and butter until smooth; mix in powdered sugar and vanilla extract.
Once rolls cool slightly, generously frost them with cream cheese frosting.
