Ingredients

Dough:
1 cup warm milk (not hot)
1 tablespoon active dry yeast
2 eggs
1/2 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup (about 6 tablespoons) butter, melted
5 cups all purpose flour
Filling:
2 tablespoons butter
2 1/2 cups fresh cherries, pitted and cut in half
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
pinch of cinnamon (optional)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Icing:
2 cups powdered sugar
1/3 cup heavy whipping cream
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
pinch of salt

Instructions

1. In the bowl of a stand mixer (or a large bowl), dissolve yeast in milk and allow to sit for about 5 minutes until bubbly. Beat in eggs and sugar, then butter and salt until combined. Add flour a cup at a time until your dough comes together and starts to pull away from the sides of bowl. Cover bowl with a damp towel or plastic wrap and place in warm place to rise until doubled in size. (Alternatively, you can refrigerate the dough overnight and have it ready for a quick breakfast. Just pull it out about an hour before you want to use it.)
2. Meanwhile, make your filling. Combine cherries, butter, salt, and sugar in a medium saucepan over medium low heat. Bring mixture to a soft boil, stirring gently, and cook for 10-12 minutes until the the sauce starts to thicken enough to coat the back of a spoon. Remove from heat and add vanilla and cinnamon, then set aside. 3. Grease a 13x9 inch glass pan (or 2 8x8 inch or 2 10-inch round cake pans) and spoon a few spoonfuls of the sauce from the cherries into pan(s).
3. Divide dough in half and roll out one half on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle, roughly 1/4 inch thick. Spread 1/2 of cherry filling in an even layer on top and sprinkle with 1/2 cup chocolate chips. Starting from the short end, roll it up until you have a log of sorts. Then using a sharp knife, cut into 6 (or 7 spirals if using a round pan) and place in prepared pan (spiral facing up). Repeat with other half of dough until you have 12 rolls. Cover pans and allow them to rise while oven preheats.
4. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 C). Bake for 18 - 25 minutes until edges start to brown. Remove pan(s) from oven and allow the to cool for about 5 minutes before serving.
5. For the icing, whisk ingredients together in a medium bowl until thick and smooth. Serve on top of warm buns.
