Delightful strawberry cheesecake flavored rolls that make for the ultimate comfort food.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups All-Purpose Flour
- 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar
- 2 1/4 teaspoons Active Dry Yeast
- 1 cup Milk (warmed)
- 1/3 cup Butter (melted)
- 1 large Egg
- 8 oz Cream Cheese (softened)
- 1 cup Powdered Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 1 cup Fresh Strawberries (diced)
- 1/4 cup Heavy Cream
- Additional Fresh Strawberries (for garnishing)
- Cream Cheese Frosting (optional)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of flour, sugar, and yeast. In a separate bowl, whisk together the warm milk, melted butter, and egg until combined. Pour this mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until blended. Gradually add the remaining flour until a soft dough forms.
- Move the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and diced strawberries. Mix until smooth and well-combined.
- Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release air. Roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle approximately 1/4 inch thick.
- Spread the cream cheese-strawberry mixture evenly over the rolled-out dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Begin rolling the dough tightly from one long edge to the other. Cut the cylinder into 1-inch thick slices.
- Place the rolls in a greased baking dish, ensuring they are close but not touching. Drizzle the heavy cream over them.
- Cover the dish with a towel and let the rolls rise for another 30 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
- Once they are cool, drizzle with cream cheese frosting and garnish with extra fresh strawberries before serving.
