Ingredients

Scale

Dough Ingredients

  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast (1 packet)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup whole milk, warmed
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Cheesecake Filling

  • 8 oz cream cheese, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp lemon juice

Strawberry Filling

  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp lemon juice

Glaze

  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1–2 tbsp milk or lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Prepare the dough: Warm the milk slightly and dissolve the active dry yeast in it. In a mixing bowl, combine sugar, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Gradually add flour and mix until the dough comes together. Knead on a floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 8-10 minutes. Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm spot until doubled in size, approximately 1 to 1.5 hours.
  2. Make the cheesecake filling: While the dough rises, beat the cream cheese with powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon juice until smooth and creamy. Set aside to let flavors meld.
  3. Prepare the strawberry filling: Chop fresh strawberries and mix gently with granulated sugar and lemon juice. Let sit briefly to draw out juices, then drain any excess liquid to avoid watery filling.
  4. Assemble the rolls: Roll the dough out on a floured surface into a large rectangle. Spread the cheesecake filling evenly over the dough, then sprinkle the strawberry mixture on top. Carefully roll the dough into a tight log and slice into approximately 1.5-inch thick rolls.
  5. Bake: Place the rolls in a greased baking dish, leaving space between each for expansion. Cover and let rise a second time for 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
  6. Glaze and serve: Whisk powdered sugar with milk or lemon juice to make a glaze. Drizzle over the warm rolls and serve fresh for the best melty, creamy experience.

Notes

  • Proof your yeast by ensuring it bubbles in warm milk before mixing.
  • Use room temperature cream cheese and eggs for smoother filling and dough.
  • Drain excess strawberry juice to prevent watery filling.
  • Roll dough tightly to keep filling secure during baking.
  • Remove rolls promptly when golden to keep them soft and moist.
