Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- 1 package refrigerated cinnamon rolls (with icing)
Cheesecake Filling
- 4 ounces cream cheese (softened)
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Strawberry Topping
- 1/2 cup strawberry jam or preserves
- 1/2 cup fresh strawberries (chopped)
Optional
- Extra strawberries for garnish
- Cream cheese glaze
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a baking dish to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- Make the Filling: In a small bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy, free of lumps.
- Unroll Cinnamon Rolls: Separate the cinnamon rolls from the package and unroll each one into a flat strip, creating a canvas for the filling and jam.
- Fill the Rolls: Spread a thin layer of the cream cheese mixture evenly over each unrolled cinnamon roll strip. Then, add a spoonful of strawberry jam on top of the cream cheese layer.
- Roll and Arrange: Carefully roll the strips back up into their spiral form and place them into the prepared baking dish, spacing them evenly.
- Bake: Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and are thoroughly cooked through.
- Add Icing and Strawberries: Remove the rolls from the oven and quickly spread the included icing from the cinnamon roll package on top. Sprinkle with freshly chopped strawberries for added color and flavor.
- Serve: Serve the rolls warm for the best taste and enjoy your homemade strawberry cheesecake cinnabon rolls.
Notes
- For an indulgent variation, drizzle melted white chocolate over the rolls.
- These rolls are best enjoyed fresh from the oven but can be reheated briefly in the microwave for a quick treat.
