        \n\t\t

        Prepare the Dough:<\/h4>
        1. Mix the warm dairy-free milk with half of the brown sugar in a small bowl. Sprinkle in the dry yeast, give it a quick stir, and let it sit for about 10 minutes until it becomes frothy.<\/li>
        2. In a large bowl, combine the flour, protein powder, and the remaining brown sugar.<\/li>
        3. Add the yeast mixture and melted vegan butter to the dry ingredients. Mix well.<\/li>
        4. Knead the dough by hand or in a stand mixer for 8-10 minutes until it\u2019s smooth and no longer sticky.<\/li>
        5. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rise in a warm place until it doubles in size.<\/li><\/ol>

          Prepare the Filling:<\/h4>
          1. In a small bowl, combine the melted dairy-free butter, melted orange-flavored dark chocolate, vegan chocolate protein powder, and orange extract. Add more protein powder if needed to achieve a thick, spreadable consistency.<\/li><\/ol>

            Assemble the Rolls:<\/h4>
            1. Roll out the dough into a long rectangle.<\/li>
            2. Spread the chocolate orange filling evenly over the dough.<\/li>
            3. Roll the dough lengthwise into a log, then cut it into thick rolls.<\/li>
            4. Place the rolls in a prepared baking dish.<\/li><\/ol>

              Let the Rolls Rise:<\/h4>
              1. Cover the rolls with a damp cloth and let them rise for another 20-30 minutes.<\/li><\/ol>

                Bake the Rolls:<\/h4>
                1. Preheat the oven to 350\u00b0F (180\u00b0C) while the rolls are rising.<\/li>
                2. Bake the rolls for 20-22 minutes or until they are golden brown.<\/li><\/ol>

                  Make the Frosting:<\/h4>
                  1. Mix together the vegan cream cheese, powdered sugar, cocoa powder, orange extract, and dairy-free milk. Adjust the consistency with more milk if needed.<\/li><\/ol>

                    Frost the Rolls:<\/h4>
                    1. Once the rolls are slightly cooled, spread the frosting on top while they are still warm.<\/li><\/ol>\t<\/div>\n\t
