Instructions
Follow these simple steps to create your Irresistible Strawberry Cheesecake Cinnabon Rolls:
1. Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, combine warm milk, melted butter, and sugar. Sprinkle the yeast on top and let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
2. Incorporate Ingredients: Add the eggs and salt to the yeast mixture, then gradually add flour, mixing until a dough forms. Knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
3. First Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
4. Prepare Filling: While the dough rises, prepare the cheesecake filling. In a medium bowl, beat softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
5. Roll Out Dough: Once risen, punch down the dough and roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle, approximately 18×12 inches.
6. Add Fillings: Spread the softened butter over the dough, then sprinkle the brown sugar and cinnamon evenly. Distribute the chopped strawberries across the filling, followed by dollops of the cheesecake filling.
7. Form Rolls: Starting from one edge, tightly roll the dough into a log. Cut into 12 equal pieces and arrange them in a greased baking dish.
8. Second Rise: Cover the rolls and let them rise for another 30 minutes until puffy.
9. Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
10. Glaze the Rolls: While rolls are baking, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract for the glaze. Once the rolls cool slightly, drizzle the glaze over the top.
By following these steps, you ensure that your Strawberry Cheesecake Cinnabon Rolls turn out fantastic every time!
