Ingredients

Scale

Dough

  • 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 package (2 ¼ teaspoons) active dry yeast
  • ¾ cup milk, warmed to 110-115°F
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten

Strawberry Cheesecake Filling

  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup strawberry jam (high-quality, seedless preferred)
  • ½ cup finely chopped fresh strawberries

Cream Cheese Frosting

  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 2–3 tablespoons milk
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Toppings

  • Fresh strawberries, sliced
  • Graham cracker crumbs
  • Strawberry syrup

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt. In a separate bowl, dissolve the yeast in the warm milk and let stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy. Add the melted butter and beaten eggs to the yeast mixture and whisk to combine. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until a shaggy dough forms. Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for 6-8 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm spot for 1 to 1.5 hours until doubled in size.
  2. Make the Strawberry Cheesecake Filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and butter with an electric mixer until smooth. Gradually beat in powdered sugar and vanilla extract until creamy. Gently fold in strawberry jam and finely chopped fresh strawberries to combine evenly.
  3. Assemble the Rolls: Once the dough has doubled in size, punch it down and roll out onto a floured surface into a 12×18 inch rectangle. Spread the cheesecake filling evenly over the dough, leaving a small border on one long edge. Starting from the opposite edge, roll the dough tightly into a log. Seal the seam carefully and cut into 12 equal rolls using a serrated knife or dental floss. Place the rolls in a greased 9×13 inch baking dish, cover, and let rise for 30-45 minutes until puffy.
  4. Bake the Rolls: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes or until they turn golden brown on top. Remove from the oven and allow the rolls to cool in the dish for about 10 minutes before frosting.
  5. Prepare the Cream Cheese Frosting: Beat softened cream cheese and butter with an electric mixer until smooth and fluffy. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, continuing to beat until creamy. Add milk, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the frosting reaches the desired spreadable consistency.
  6. Frost and Serve: Spread the cream cheese frosting generously over the warm rolls. Garnish with sliced fresh strawberries, sprinkle with graham cracker crumbs, and drizzle lightly with strawberry syrup. Serve the strawberry cheesecake cinnabon rolls warm to enjoy their rich and indulgent flavor.

Notes

  • Ensure the milk for the yeast mixture is warm but not hot, ideally between 110-115°F, to activate the yeast effectively.
  • Kneading the dough until smooth and elastic is crucial for fluffy rolls.
  • Use a serrated knife or dental floss to cut the rolls cleanly without squishing them.
  • If fresh strawberries are not available, frozen can be substituted but should be thoroughly drained to avoid soggy filling.
  • Let the rolls cool slightly before frosting to prevent the frosting from melting completely but still allow it to spread easily.
  • These rolls are best enjoyed the same day but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
