You’ll be dreaming about them long after Shavuos is over.   When we originally printed this recipe in Dairy Made Easy, it had about half the filling. I like cheese babka with way more filling, so I doubled the filling (even though I don’t use all of it). It makes for...

Babka is delicious. But all that dough being rolled, and filling being sprinkled everywhere also creates a big mess. We have a solution. I’m addicted to baking babka. There is nothing as satisfying as baking a yeast dough...the add some cocoa and sugar for a chocolaty, chocolaty filling and bam! It’s addicting. But there’s a problem for those who don’t...
