Ingredients
Scale
Primary Ingredients:
- 1 Cinnamon roll dough
- 4 oz cream cheese
- 1 cup fresh strawberries
Filling Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Frosting Ingredients:
- 4 oz cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Grab your prepared cinnamon roll dough from the package or homemade recipe. Ensure your work surface is lightly dusted with flour.
- In a medium bowl, blend 4 oz softened cream cheese with 1 cup diced strawberries, 2 tablespoons sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until thoroughly mixed.
- Stretch your dough into a rectangular shape, making sure it’s evenly rolled out to about ¼ inch thickness.
- Carefully spread the strawberry cheesecake filling across the entire surface of the dough, covering every inch from edge to edge.
- Starting from the longer side, gently roll the dough into a tight log, keeping the filling tucked inside.
- Using a sharp knife, slice the log into 1 to 1 ½ inch thick individual rolls.
- Transfer the sliced rolls into a greased baking dish, arranging them with a little space between each roll.
- Slide the baking dish into a preheated oven at 350°F. Bake for 25-30 minutes until the rolls turn golden brown and the dough is fully cooked.
- While the rolls bake, whip together 4 oz softened cream cheese, 2 tablespoons softened butter, 1 cup powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until the frosting becomes smooth and creamy.
- Remove the rolls from the oven and immediately coat them with a generous layer of the cream cheese frosting while they’re still warm.
Notes
- Use room temperature cream cheese for a smoother, easier-to-spread filling that blends perfectly with strawberries.
- Dice strawberries small to prevent large chunks from causing uneven rolling or breaking the dough’s structure.
- Dust your work surface generously with flour to prevent the sweet, sticky dough from sticking and tearing during rolling.
- For a gluten-free version, swap traditional flour-based dough with a gluten-free cinnamon roll mix or alternative dough recipe.
