Ingredients

For the Dough:

4 cups all-purpose flour

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) instant yeast

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup whole milk, warmed (100°F)

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled

2 large eggs

For the Filling:

1 cup cream cheese, softened

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup fresh strawberries, diced

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 tablespoon cornstarch

For the Cream Cheese Glaze:

1 cup powdered sugar

2 tablespoons cream cheese, softened

2 tablespoons milk

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, instant yeast, and salt. In a separate bowl, mix the warm milk, melted butter, and eggs until combined. Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until a soft dough forms.

Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Prepare the Filling: In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth. Add the diced strawberries, lemon juice, and cornstarch and gently fold to combine.

Roll the Dough: Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle approximately 1/4 inch thick. Spread the cream cheese-strawberry filling evenly over the dough.

Shape the Rolls: Starting from one end, roll the dough tightly into a log. Slice the rolled dough into 12 equal pieces and place them in a greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Cover and let them rise for another 30 minutes.

Preheat the Oven: While the rolls are rising, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Bake: Once the rolls have puffed up, bake them in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.

Prepare the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, softened cream cheese, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.

Glaze the Rolls: After the rolls have cooled for about 10 minutes, drizzle the cream cheese glaze over them.

Serve and Enjoy: Serve the warm strawberry cheesecake sweet rolls to friends and family and watch them enjoy every bite!
