These Strawberry Cheesecake Cinnabon Rolls combine soft, fluffy cinnamon roll dough with a sweet strawberry filling and a rich cream cheese glaze. A bakery-worthy treat perfect for breakfast, brunch, or dessert.

Ingredients

  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 1/4 tsp instant yeast
  • 3/4 cup whole milk, warm
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 cups chopped strawberries (fresh or frozen)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for filling)
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 6 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix warm milk, yeast, and 1 tbsp sugar. Let sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy (if using active dry yeast).
  2. Add melted butter, egg, salt, and flour. Mix until a soft dough forms, then knead until smooth and elastic, about 8–10 minutes.
  3. Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour.
  4. While dough rises, make the strawberry filling: cook strawberries, sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch in a saucepan over medium heat until thickened. Cool slightly.
  5. Roll the dough into a large rectangle on a floured surface. Spread the strawberry filling evenly across the dough.
  6. Roll up the dough tightly and slice into 12 equal rolls. Place in a greased baking dish.
  7. Cover and let rise again for 30 minutes while preheating oven to 350°F (175°C).
  8. Bake for 25 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
  9. While rolls bake, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth to make the glaze.
  10. Let rolls cool slightly, then spread cream cheese glaze over the top. Serve warm.

Notes

  • Add white chocolate chips to the filling for extra indulgence.
  • Use strawberry jam as a shortcut if short on time or fruit.
  • Try raspberries or blueberries for a fruity variation.
  • Chill unbaked rolls overnight and bake fresh in the morning.
  • Freeze baked rolls (without glaze) and add glaze after reheating.
