Soft, fluffy sweet rolls filled with a fresh strawberry mixture and topped with a creamy vanilla glaze, making a perfect fruity twist on classic cinnamon rolls.

Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Dough:
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) active dry yeast
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup warm milk
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • For the Strawberry Filling:
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, diced
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • For the Cream Glaze:
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2–3 tbsp milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine warm milk, yeast, and 1 tablespoon of sugar. Let sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
  2. Add remaining sugar, melted butter, egg, salt, and 2 cups of flour. Mix until dough forms, then add remaining flour as needed.
  3. Knead dough for 5–7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1 hour or until doubled.
  4. While dough rises, make the filling: in a saucepan, combine strawberries, sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat until thickened. Let cool completely.
  5. Once dough has risen, roll it out into a rectangle (about 12×16 inches).
  6. Spread cooled strawberry filling evenly over the dough.
  7. Roll the dough tightly from the long side and slice into 12 rolls.
  8. Place rolls in a greased baking dish, cover, and let rise for another 20–30 minutes.
  9. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake rolls for 22–26 minutes or until golden.
  10. Make the glaze: whisk cream cheese, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth.
  11. Spread glaze over warm rolls before serving.

Notes

  • Ensure the strawberry filling cools completely to prevent soggy rolls.
  • Add freeze-dried strawberry powder to the glaze for extra flavor.
  • Rolls can be prepared the night before and baked in the morning.
