  • Total Time: 2 hours 30 minutes
  • Yield: 12 rolls 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Dough Ingredients

  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet)
  • 1 cup whole milk, warmed to lukewarm
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Cheesecake Filling

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened (optional for extra richness)

Strawberry Mixture

  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (to toss with strawberries)

Glaze

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1–2 tablespoons milk or cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: Warm the milk until just lukewarm and dissolve active dry yeast with a pinch of sugar. In a large bowl, combine all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, salt, melted butter, eggs, and the yeast mixture. Knead the dough until smooth and elastic, then cover it with a towel and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 to 1.5 hours.
  2. Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a mixing bowl, whip softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until smooth. This mixture will spread easily inside each roll providing creamy swirls throughout.
  3. Prepare the Strawberry Mixture: Finely chop fresh strawberries and toss them with granulated sugar to release their natural juices. This sweet and juicy mixture will complement the cheesecake filling.
  4. Assemble the Rolls: Roll out the risen dough on a floured surface into a large rectangle. Spread the cheesecake filling evenly over the dough, sprinkle the sugared strawberries on top, and dust with cinnamon. Carefully roll the dough tightly from one long edge into a log, then cut into equal pieces using a sharp knife or dental floss.
  5. Bake: Place the rolls in a greased baking dish, cover lightly, and let them rise for 30-45 minutes until puffy. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
  6. Glaze and Serve: While warm, drizzle the rolls with a simple powdered sugar glaze flavored with vanilla, or serve with cream cheese frosting for extra richness. Serve warm and enjoy.

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients to ensure proper yeast activation and good dough rise.
  • Don’t skip the dough rising step; allowing it to double in size ensures fluffy, tender rolls.
  • Cut rolls evenly for uniform baking and an attractive presentation.
  • Handle strawberries gently and toss with sugar just before assembling to prevent soggy dough.
  • Brush rolls with melted butter after baking for shine and extra flavor.
