INGREDIENTS
For the Dough:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
3/4 cup milk
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
For the Filling:
1 cup strawberries, finely chopped
1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
For the Glaze (optional):
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1–2 tbsp milk
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
INSTRUCTIONS
Prepare the Dough:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Add in the milk and melted butter. Stir until a soft dough forms.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead it a few times until it comes together. Roll the dough into a rectangle, about 1/4-inch thick.
Prepare the Filling:
In a separate bowl, mix together the chopped strawberries, softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Spread the filling evenly over the rolled-out dough, leaving about a 1-inch border around the edges.
Form the Rolls:
Starting from the long side, carefully roll the dough into a log.
Slice the log into 6 equal pieces using a sharp knife.
Place the rolls into a greased baking dish, leaving some space between each roll.
Bake:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Glaze (optional):
While the rolls are baking, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth.
Once the rolls are out of the oven and slightly cooled, drizzle the glaze over the top.
Serve and Enjoy!
Serve the Strawberry Cream Cheese Rolls warm and enjoy the delightful combination of creamy and fruity flavors!
I hope you enjoy making and eating these delicious rolls!
