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

Ingredients

  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 1/4 tsp instant yeast
  • 1 cup warm milk
  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • Cheesecake Filling:
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Strawberry Layer:
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, diced
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp cornstarch (optional)
  • Cinnamon Sugar Filling:
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup butter, softened
  • Frosting:
  • 4 oz cream cheese
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 12 tbsp milk (as needed)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, mix warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit until foamy.
  2. Add eggs, softened butter, flour, and salt to form a soft dough. Knead for about 5–8 minutes.
  3. Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size (about 1 hour).
  4. Meanwhile, prepare the cheesecake filling by mixing cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
  5. Cook strawberries with sugar (and cornstarch if needed) in a saucepan until jammy. Let cool.
  6. Roll out the risen dough into a rectangle. Spread with softened butter, then sprinkle cinnamon sugar evenly.
  7. Layer with cheesecake filling and cooled strawberries.
  8. Roll the dough tightly and cut into 12 equal slices. Place in a greased baking dish.
  9. Cover and let rise again for 30 minutes, until puffy.
  10. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25–30 minutes, or until golden brown.
  11. For the frosting, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk until smooth. Drizzle over warm rolls.

Notes

  • Let the strawberries cool completely before spreading on the dough to avoid sogginess.
  • Use dental floss for clean, even slicing of the rolled dough.
  • Prep the night before and bake in the morning for fresh rolls with less hassle.
  • Try other berries or add white chocolate chips for variation.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge and reheat before serving for best texture.
