Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 package refrigerated cinnamon rolls (with icing)
- 4 ounces cream cheese (softened)
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup strawberry jam or preserves
- 1/2 cup fresh strawberries (chopped)
- Optional garnish: extra strawberries and cream cheese glaze
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a baking dish to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
- Prepare Cream Cheese Mixture: In a small bowl, beat together softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy, creating the cheesecake flavor base.
- Unroll Cinnamon Rolls: Separate the cinnamon rolls and carefully unroll each one into a flat strip to prepare for filling.
- Spread Fillings: Evenly spread a thin layer of the cream cheese mixture onto each flattened cinnamon roll strip, then add a spoonful of strawberry jam on top for sweetness and fruity flavor.
- Roll Up and Arrange: Re-roll each strip back up and place the rolls into the prepared baking dish, spacing them slightly to allow room for rising.
- Bake: Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Add Icing and Strawberries: Once baked, spread the included cinnamon roll icing on top of the warm rolls, then sprinkle with chopped fresh strawberries for extra freshness and presentation.
- Serve: Serve the strawberry cheesecake cinnabon rolls warm for the best flavor and texture experience.
Notes
- For an indulgent twist, drizzle with melted white chocolate to enhance sweetness and richness.
- These rolls are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven but can be reheated in the microwave for a quick treat.
