Ingredients

  • For the dough:
  • All-purpose flour
  • 2¼ tsp instant yeast
  • ¾ cup warm milk
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ tsp salt
  • For the cheesecake filling:
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ⅓ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • For the strawberry filling:
  • 1½ cups fresh or frozen strawberries, diced
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp cornstarch (optional)
  • For the topping:
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ¾ cup powdered sugar
  • 2–3 tbsp milk or heavy cream
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • Optional: 2 tbsp strawberry jam or puree for glaze

Instructions

  1. If using active dry yeast, activate it in warm milk; skip this step for instant yeast.
  2. In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, salt, eggs, butter, and milk with yeast. Knead until smooth and elastic.
  3. Cover and let the dough rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled.
  4. Mix cheesecake filling ingredients until smooth.
  5. Cook diced strawberries with sugar (and cornstarch, if using) over medium heat until slightly thickened. Cool.
  6. Roll out dough into a rectangle. Spread with cheesecake mixture, then top with cooled strawberries.
  7. Roll the dough tightly into a log and slice into 12 rolls.
  8. Place rolls in a greased baking dish. Cover and let rise for 30 minutes.
  9. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25–30 minutes, until golden and cooked through.
  10. While warm, top with cream cheese frosting or strawberry glaze.

Notes

  • Use strawberry jam for a shortcut instead of fresh strawberries.
  • Add white chocolate chips or graham cracker crumbs for texture.
  • Substitute strawberries with raspberries or blueberries.
  • For a pink glaze, stir strawberry puree into the frosting.
