Instructions
Creating the Irresistible Strawberry Cheesecake Cinnabon Rolls is an enjoyable process. Follow these simple steps for delicious results:
1. Make the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine warm milk, sugar, and instant yeast. Stir lightly and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.
2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.
3. Mix Ingredients: Once the yeast mixture is frothy, add the melted butter, eggs, and half of the flour. Mix well.
4. Knead the Dough: Gradually add the remaining flour until a dough forms. Knead on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth.
5. Let it Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm area for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
6. Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Gently fold in the chopped strawberries.
7. Roll Out the Dough: After rising, turn the dough onto a floured surface and roll it into a rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick.
8. Fill the Dough: Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Mix the brown sugar and cinnamon together and sprinkle over the cream cheese layer.
9. Roll the Dough: Starting from the long end, roll the dough tightly into a log. Pinch the seams to seal.
10. Cut the Rolls: With a sharp knife or dental floss, slice the rolled dough into 12 equal pieces.
11. Second Rise: Place the rolls in a greased 9×13-inch dish, cover again, and let rise for about 30 minutes.
12. Preheat Oven: While the rolls are rising, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
13. Bake the Rolls: Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
14. Cool and Ice: Allow the rolls to cool for about 15 minutes. Mix icing ingredients together, then drizzle over the warm rolls.
15. Serve and Enjoy: These rolls are best enjoyed warm!
