Preparation
In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar and salt. Cut in butter until crumbly. Add the yeast mixture, cream, milk and egg yolks; stir until mixture forms a soft dough. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
In a small bowl, combine the filling ingredients. Punch down dough; divide in half. On a lightly floured surface, roll out 1 portion into a 13x7-in. rectangle. Sprinkle with half of filling.
Roll up jelly-roll style, starting with a long side. Pinch seam to seal. Place seam side down on a greased baking sheet; pinch ends together to form a ring. Repeat with remaining dough and filling. Cover and let rise in a warm place, about 45 minutes.
Bake at 375° until golden brown, 25-30 minutes. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool. Combine the confectioners’ sugar, vanilla and enough milk to reach a drizzling consistency. Drizzle over warm rings.
