Description
Soft, sweet cinnamon rolls filled with a tangy cream cheese-strawberry center, finished with a glossy cream cheese glaze.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup milk, warm
- 1/4 cup butter, softened
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 packet active dry yeast
- 8 oz cream cheese, room temperature
- 1/2 cup strawberries, macerated
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
- Add egg, butter, and half the flour. Mix well and gradually add remaining flour.
- Knead the dough until elastic, then let rise until doubled in size.
- Roll out the dough into a rectangle and spread the cream cheese mixture evenly.
- Sprinkle macerated strawberries and cinnamon on top, roll into a log, and slice into rolls.
- Let the rolls proof again, then bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20-25 minutes.
- Cool slightly and drizzle the cream cheese glaze over warm rolls.
Notes
It’s best to chill the dough slightly before slicing to achieve cleaner cuts. Consider macerating strawberries to prevent a soggy center.
