Instructions
Making Irresistible Strawberry Cheesecake Cinnabon Rolls is simpler than you might think! Here are the easy steps to follow:
1. Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine warm milk, granulated sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes, until frothy.
2. Mix in Ingredients: Add melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt to the yeast mixture. Whisk until combined.
3. Incorporate Flour: Gradually add in the flour a cup at a time, mixing until a soft dough forms. Knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes until it’s smooth and elastic.
4. First Rise: Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
5. Prepare Cheesecake Filling: In a medium bowl, beat together softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Fold in sliced strawberries gently. Set aside.
6. Prepare Cinnamon Filling: In a small bowl, mix brown sugar, cinnamon, and softened butter to create a paste.
7. Roll Out Dough: Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle (about 16×24 inches).
8. Spread Fillings: Evenly spread the cheesecake filling over the rolled dough, then spread the cinnamon filling on top of the cheesecake mixture.
9. Roll Up: Starting from the long edge, carefully roll the dough into a log, sealing the edges as you go.
10. Slice Rolls: Cut the log into 12 equal slices and place them in a greased baking dish.
11. Second Rise: Cover the rolls with a towel and let them rise for an additional 30 minutes in a warm place until puffy.
12. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
13. Bake Rolls: Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
14. Prepare Strawberry Glaze: While the rolls are baking, whisk together powdered sugar and milk until smooth. Add diced strawberries and mix gently to combine.
15. Cool and Glaze: Once baked, let the rolls cool for about 10-15 minutes, then drizzle with the strawberry glaze.
