Description
Decadent Strawberry Cheesecake Sweet Rolls that combine creamy cheesecake with sweet strawberries in warm, pillowy rolls.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup milk, warmed
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar (plus more for glaze)
- 1 cup strawberries, pureed
- 2 tablespoons milk (for glaze)
Instructions
- Combine the warmed milk, sugar, and yeast in a bowl. Allow it to sit until frothy, about 5 minutes.
- Add in the flour, salt, melted butter, and egg. Mix until a dough forms, then knead for about 5 minutes until smooth.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a cloth, and let it rise until doubled in size—approximately 60 minutes.
- Roll out the dough into a rectangle. Spread the softened cream cheese and strawberry puree evenly over the surface, then sprinkle with sugar.
- Tightly roll the dough into a log, then cut it into individual rolls. Arrange them in a baking dish and let rise for another 30 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
- Whisk together the powdered sugar and milk for the glaze in a small bowl. Drizzle it over the warm rolls before serving.
Notes
These rolls are best enjoyed warm and can be paired with coffee or orange juice. Consider adding walnuts or cinnamon for extra flavor.
