About this recipe
Chocolate Rolls (Anna) with the Thermomix TM7 bring a classic enriched-dough recipe into your all-in-one kitchen machine with remarkable ease. These soft, pillowy rolls hide pockets of melted milk chocolate and dark rum-soaked raisins, making them an irresistible dessert or weekend brunch bake. Searching for recipes that handle yeast dough without a stand mixer? The TM7 kneads the buttery dough to a silky, elastic consistency while you soak the raisins in golden rum and prepare the filling. Gentle heating warms the milk and melts the unsalted butter to exactly the right warmth for activating dried yeast, while the precise built-in scale weighs flour and granulated sugar directly into the bowl for consistent results every single bake. Whether you are preparing a festive Easter table, a Christmas morning breakfast or simply treating the family on a slow Sunday, these chocolate rolls deliver a bakery-quality texture. The whipping function with the butterfly whisk turns chilled whipping cream into soft peaks for serving, completing a truly decadent homemade experience.
Preparation tips
- Soak the dark raisins in golden rum for at least thirty minutes before baking so they plump up and distribute their boozy sweetness evenly through the dough rather than sinking to the bottom of the rolls.
- Shape the filled dough tightly and place the rolls close together on the tray; this encourages them to rise upwards instead of spreading sideways, giving that classic soft-sided bakery bun appearance.
- For a family-friendly version, replace the rum with fresh orange juice or strong black tea when soaking the raisins; the fruit stays moist and fragrant while the rolls become suitable for children.
- Store leftover chocolate rolls in an airtight container and gently warm them before serving so the milk chocolate chips soften again into molten pockets.
Recipe variations
- Alcohol-free variation: soak the dark raisins in warm apple juice with a pinch of cinnamon instead of golden rum; the rolls keep their fruity depth and become perfect for children's parties or school lunchboxes.
- Festive variation: add finely grated orange zest and a dusting of icing sugar over the whipped cream, or swap milk chocolate chips for dark chocolate and chopped candied peel at Christmas for a richer seasonal treat.
