Decadent Sweet Strawberry Cheesecake Rolls for Home Cooks

A delightful blend of creamy cheesecake and fresh strawberries, these Sweet Strawberry Cheesecake Rolls offer a luscious texture that’s ideal for celebrations…

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon active dry yeast
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup warm milk
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 1 egg
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

  • Activate the yeast by combining warm milk, yeast, and sugar in a bowl and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until bubbly.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine flour, salt, melted butter, egg, and the yeast mixture. Mix until a dough forms.
  • Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
  • Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour.
  • While the dough rises, prepare the cheesecake filling by mixing softened cream cheese, chopped strawberries, sugar, and vanilla extract in a bowl.
  • Once the dough has risen, roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle approximately 1/4 inch thick.
  • Spread the cheesecake filling evenly over the rolled-out dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
  • Starting from one edge, carefully roll the dough into a tight log, pinching the edges to seal.
  • Slice the log into 12 equal pieces and place them in a greased baking dish.
  • Cover the rolls and let them rise for another 30 minutes to an hour until puffy.
  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) as the rolls finish rising.
  • Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown on top.
  • Allow the rolls to cool slightly before dusting with powdered sugar before serving.
