Description

Soft and fluffy cinnamon rolls filled with a sweet strawberry cheesecake filling and topped with a cream cheese glaze.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup warm milk
  • 2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup chopped strawberries
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 23 tablespoons milk

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine warm milk, yeast, and ¼ cup granulated sugar. Let sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
  2. Stir in egg and melted butter.
  3. Add flour and salt, mixing until a shaggy dough forms.
  4. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  5. Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
  6. While dough is rising, make the filling. In a medium bowl, beat together cream cheese, ½ cup powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  7. In another bowl, combine chopped strawberries, ½ cup granulated sugar, and cornstarch.
  8. Punch down risen dough and roll into a 15×10 inch rectangle.
  9. Spread cream cheese mixture over the dough, leaving a small border.
  10. Sprinkle strawberry mixture over the cream cheese layer.
  11. Starting from the long edge, tightly roll up the dough.
  12. Cut the roll into 12 equal slices.
  13. Place slices in a greased 9×13 inch baking dish.
  14. Cover and let rise for another 30-45 minutes.
  15. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  16. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
  17. While rolls are baking, make the glaze. In a bowl, whisk together softened butter, 1 cup powdered sugar, and milk until smooth.
  18. Pour glaze over warm cinnamon rolls.
  19. Serve warm.

Notes

  • Ensure your milk is warm (around 105-115°F) for the yeast to activate properly.
  • If your kitchen is cold, you can place the dough in a slightly warm oven (turned off) to help it rise.
  • Do not overmix the glaze; mix until just combined and smooth.
