Ingredients

Scale

For the Dough:

  • 1 cup warm milk (110°F)

  • 2 ¼ tsp active dry yeast

  • ½ cup granulated sugar

  • 2 large eggs, room temperature

  • ⅓ cup unsalted butter, melted

  • 4 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 tsp salt

For the Cheesecake Filling:

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened

  • ¼ cup granulated sugar

  • 1 egg yolk

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the Strawberry Filling:

  • 1 ½ cups diced strawberries (fresh or frozen)

  • 2 tbsp sugar

  • 1 tbsp cornstarch

  • 1 tsp lemon juice

For the Glaze:

  • 1 cup powdered sugar

  • 1–2 tbsp strawberry purée or milk

  • ½ tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, combine warm milk and yeast. Let sit 5–10 minutes until foamy.

  2. In a large bowl or stand mixer, whisk sugar, eggs, and melted butter. Add yeast mixture.

  3. Add flour and salt. Mix until dough forms. Knead 6–8 minutes until smooth.

  4. Cover dough and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 to 1.5 hours.

  5. For the cheesecake filling: Beat cream cheese, sugar, egg yolk, and vanilla until smooth.

  6. For strawberry filling: Cook strawberries, sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch in a saucepan over medium heat until thickened. Cool.

  7. Roll dough into a 16×12″ rectangle. Spread cheesecake mixture, then strawberry filling on top.

  8. Roll up from the long edge, slice into 12 rolls. Place in greased 9×13″ baking dish.

  9. Cover and rise 30–45 minutes. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

  10. Bake 25–30 minutes until golden. Let cool slightly.

  11. Mix glaze ingredients and drizzle over warm rolls. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • You can prep the rolls the night before, refrigerate, and bake in the morning.

  • Frozen strawberries work—just thaw and drain first.

  • Add white chocolate chips for a decadent twist!

  • Use parchment in your pan for easier cleanup.

 

  • To freeze: Wrap unglazed baked rolls individually and reheat as needed.
