Instructions

  1. Preparing the Dough: Activate the yeast by mixing lukewarm milk and yeast, letting it sit until frothy. Combine flour, sugar, and salt, then add the yeast mixture, softened butter, egg, and vanilla. Mix until a dough forms and knead for 8-10 minutes. Let rise for 1-1.5 hours.
  2. Making the Cheesecake Filling: Beat cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar, vanilla, flour, and sour cream (or yogurt) and mix until smooth.
  3. Preparing the Cinnamon Sugar Filling: Mix brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Soften butter and combine with the sugar mixture.
  4. Assembling the Rolls: Roll dough into a rectangle, spread butter, then cheesecake filling and cinnamon-sugar mixture. Roll into a log and cut into 12 rolls. Place in a greased 9×13-inch pan and let rise for 30-45 minutes.
  5. Baking the Rolls: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown. Let cool for 10 minutes before icing.
  6. Preparing the Cream Cheese Icing: Beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla, salt, and milk to desired consistency.
  7. Preparing the Strawberry Topping: Slice strawberries and toss with sugar if desired. Top rolls with strawberries and icing.
  8. Serve and Enjoy: Slice and enjoy the creamy, tangy, and sweet goodness of these indulgent rolls!

Notes

  • Berry Mix: Try swapping the strawberries for raspberries, blueberries, or a combination of berries for a different twist.
  • Nutty Cinnamon Rolls: Add chopped pecans or walnuts to the cinnamon-sugar filling for extra crunch.
  • Sugar-Free Option: Use sugar substitutes or reduced-sugar cream cheese for a lower sugar option.
  • Storage/Reheating: Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days at room temperature. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes.
