Description

A decadent twist on classic cinnamon rolls, combining the creamy texture of cheesecake with fresh strawberries and the buttery, spiced goodness of Cinnabon-style dough.


Ingredients

1 package of cinnamon roll dough (or homemade dough)

8 oz cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup powdered sugar

1/2 cup heavy cream

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped

1/4 cup strawberry jam or preserves

1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven according to the instructions on the cinnamon roll dough package (usually 350°F or 375°F). Prepare a baking dish by greasing it lightly or lining it with parchment paper.
  2. Roll out the cinnamon roll dough onto a clean surface, creating a large rectangle. Spread a thin layer of melted butter over the dough.
  3. In a medium bowl, mix together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, heavy cream, and vanilla extract until smooth. Spread this cheesecake mixture evenly over the cinnamon roll dough.
  4. Sprinkle the graham cracker crumbs over the cheesecake mixture, followed by the chopped strawberries.
  5. Carefully roll the dough up from one end to the other, sealing the edge. Cut the dough into individual rolls, about 1 to 1.5 inches wide.
  6. Place the rolls into the prepared baking dish, ensuring they are snug but not overcrowded. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  7. While the rolls are baking, heat the strawberry jam in a small saucepan over low heat until it becomes a smooth glaze. Once the rolls are done, drizzle the warm strawberry glaze over the top of the rolls.
  8. Serve warm, and enjoy!

Notes

  1. Add chocolate chips for a richer flavor.
  2. Use frozen strawberries if fresh ones aren’t available, but make sure to thaw and drain them before using.
  3. To make this recipe vegan, swap cream cheese for a dairy-free alternative and use plant-based cinnamon roll dough.
  4. Add chopped pecans or walnuts for a delightful crunch.
