Instructions
Creating Irresistible Strawberry Cheesecake Cinnabon Rolls is straightforward if you follow these steps carefully:
1. Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, combine warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until foamy.
2. Mix the Ingredients: Add melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract into the yeast mixture. Stir until combined.
3. Add Flour and Salt: Gradually add in flour and salt, mixing until a soft dough forms.
4. Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth. Place in a greased bowl, cover with a towel, and let rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
5. Prepare the Filling: While the dough is rising, combine the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar in a bowl. Mix until smooth. Fold in the diced strawberries.
6. Roll the Dough: Once the dough has risen, roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle, about 16×24 inches.
7. Add the Filling: Spread the cream cheese and strawberry mixture over the dough. Sprinkle the brown sugar and cinnamon evenly on top.
8. Roll and Cut: Carefully roll the dough tightly from the long side to form a log. Cut into 12 equal pieces.
9. Second Rising: Place the rolls in a greased baking dish, cover, and let rise for another 30 minutes.
10. Bake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
11. Make the Icing: While rolls are baking, mix powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a bowl until smooth.
12. Drizzle Icing: Once the rolls cool slightly, drizzle the icing over the top.
