Strawberry Cheesecake Rolls

Ingredients

For the Dough:
1 cup warm milk (about 110°F) 🥛
2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet) 🌾
1/4 cup granulated sugar 🍚
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted 🧈
1 teaspoon salt 🧂
2 large eggs 🥚
4 cups all-purpose flour 🍞
For the Filling:
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened 🧈
1/2 cup granulated sugar 🍚
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon 🌿
1 cup fresh strawberries, diced 🍓
8 oz cream cheese, softened 🧀
1/4 cup powdered sugar 🍚
1 teaspoon vanilla extract 🌿
For the Glaze:
1 cup powdered sugar 🍚
2-3 tablespoons milk 🥛
1 teaspoon vanilla extract 🌿
Optional: 1/4 cup strawberry jam 🍓 (for extra flavor)

Instructions

1️⃣ Prepare the Dough:
In a small bowl, activate the yeast by mixing it with the warm milk and 1/4 cup sugar. Let it sit until frothy, about 5-10 minutes.
Add the melted butter, salt, eggs, and 2 cups of flour to the yeast mixture. Mix until combined.
Gradually add the remaining flour, kneading the dough until smooth and elastic (about 5-7 minutes).
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
2️⃣ Prepare the Filling:
In a small bowl, mix the softened butter, granulated sugar, and cinnamon. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
3️⃣ Assemble the Rolls:
Once the dough has risen, roll it out on a floured surface into a large rectangle (approximately 16×12 inches).
Spread the cinnamon butter mixture evenly over the dough, followed by the cream cheese mixture.
Sprinkle the diced strawberries evenly on top.
Roll the dough tightly into a log, then cut it into 12 slices.
4️⃣ Final Rise and Bake:
Place the slices in a greased 9×13 inch baking dish. Cover and let them rise for an additional 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.
5️⃣ Prepare the Glaze:
In a bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract. For an extra burst of strawberry flavor, mix in the strawberry jam.
6️⃣ Serve:
Drizzle the glaze over the warm rolls before serving and enjoy the delicious combination of flavors! 😋
