Strawberry Cream Cheese Rolls

Strawberry Rolls with Cream Cheese – perfect for a weekend breakfast or brunch. Delicious sweet rolls with scrumptious strawberry jam and rich cream cheese icing.

Ingredients:

For the Dough:

2 cups all-purpose flour

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp salt

3/4 cup milk

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

For the Filling:

1 cup strawberries, finely chopped

1/2 cup cream cheese, softened

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

For the Glaze (optional):

1/2 cup powdered sugar

1–2 tbsp milk

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions:

Prepare the Dough:

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Add in the milk and melted butter. Stir until a soft dough forms.

Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead it a few times until it comes together. Roll the dough into a rectangle, about 1/4-inch thick.

Prepare the Filling:

In a separate bowl, mix together the chopped strawberries, softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Spread the filling evenly over the rolled-out dough, leaving about a 1-inch border around the edges.

Form the Rolls:

Starting from the long side, carefully roll the dough into a log.

Slice the log into 6 equal pieces using a sharp knife.

Place the rolls into a greased baking dish, leaving some space between each roll.

Bake:

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.

Glaze (optional):

While the rolls are baking, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth.

Once the rolls are out of the oven and slightly cooled, drizzle the glaze over the top.

Serve and Enjoy!
