  • 2 1/4 teaspoons (7g) active dry yeast
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup (60g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup (100g) packed brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup (60g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup (150g) fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1 tablespoon sugar (optional, for extra sweetness)
  • 4 oz (115g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup (60g) powdered sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1–2 tablespoons whole milk, as needed for consistency
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Activate the yeast: Combine lukewarm milk and yeast in a small bowl. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
  2. Mix the dough: In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, and salt. Create a well in the center, add the yeast mixture, softened butter, egg, and vanilla. Mix until a dough forms.
  3. Knead the dough: Transfer to a floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Add more flour if it’s too sticky.
  4. Let the dough rise: Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours until doubled.
  5. Blend the cream cheese: While the dough rises, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar, vanilla, flour, and sour cream; mix until combined.
  6. Prepare the cinnamon sugar: In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt.
  7. Roll out the dough: Punch down the risen dough and roll out into a rectangle, about 16 inches by 12 inches.
  8. Spread the butter: Spread softened butter over the rolled-out dough, leaving a small border.
  9. Add the cheesecake filling: Spoon the cheesecake mixture over the buttered surface evenly.
  10. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar: Spread the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the cheesecake layer.
  11. Roll up the dough: Starting from the long edge, carefully roll the dough into a tight log and pinch to seal.
  12. Cut the rolls: Slice the log into 12 equal rolls. Place in a greased baking dish, ensuring they are close but not touching.
  13. Let the rolls rise again: Cover loosely and let them rise for 30-45 minutes until puffy.
  14. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  15. Bake: Bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
  16. Cool and ice: Let cool for 10 minutes, then mix the icing ingredients and drizzle over the warm rolls.
  17. Top with strawberries: Arrange sliced strawberries on top and serve!
