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 Toppings
- 1/2 cup strawberry jam or preserves
- 1/2 cup fresh strawberries (chopped)
Optional Garnish
- Extra strawberries
- Cream cheese glaze
Instructions
- Prepare the Oven and Baking Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a suitable baking dish to prevent sticking.
- Make the Cheesecake Mixture: In a small bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Prepare the Cinnamon Rolls: Separate each cinnamon roll from the package and carefully unroll each piece into a flat strip without tearing.
- Assemble the Rolls: Spread a thin, even layer of the cream cheese mixture over each unrolled strip, then add a spoonful of strawberry jam on top of the cream cheese layer.
- Roll and Arrange: Roll each strip back up tightly and place them seam-side down in the prepared baking dish, ensuring they have space but are close enough to rise.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and cooked through.
- Add Icing and Strawberries: Once baked, spread the included icing that came with the cinnamon rolls over the warm rolls. Sprinkle chopped fresh strawberries on top for a vibrant finish.
- Serve: Serve the rolls warm for the best flavor experience. Optionally, garnish with extra strawberries and cream cheese glaze for added indulgence.
Notes
- For an indulgent twist, drizzle with melted white chocolate before serving.
- Best enjoyed fresh out of the oven for maximum softness and flavor.
- Leftovers can be reheated in the microwave for a quick, warm treat.
