Instructions

Making Strawberry Cheesecake Cinnabon Rolls is a delightful process that can be broken down into manageable steps:

1. Activate the Yeast: In a small bowl, combine the warmed milk and active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.

2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, salt, and ground cinnamon.

3. Make the Dough: Add the activated yeast mixture, melted butter, and eggs to the dry ingredients. Mix until a dough forms.

4. Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface. Knead for about 5-7 minutes, until smooth and elastic.

5. First Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until it doubles in size.

6. Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: While the dough is rising, mix the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and sour cream in a bowl until smooth and creamy.

7. Make the Strawberry Topping: In another bowl, combine the diced strawberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Set aside to macerate.

8. Roll Out the Dough: Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle, about 20×14 inches.

9. Spread the Filling: Evenly spread the cheesecake filling over the rolled dough, leaving a small border around the edges.

10. Add Strawberry Mixture: Scatter the macerated strawberries over the cheesecake filling.

11. Roll the Dough: Starting from the long side, carefully roll the dough into a log. Pinch the seam to seal it.

12. Slice the Rolls: Cut the log into 12 equal pieces using a sharp knife or dental floss for clean cuts.

13. Second Rise: Place the rolls in a greased baking dish. Cover and let them rise again for about 30 minutes.

14. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) while the rolls are rising.

15. Bake the Rolls: Once risen, bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.

16. Cool the Rolls: After baking, allow the rolls to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes.

17. Prepare the Cream Cheese Glaze: Mix together softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.

18. Glaze the Rolls: Drizzle the cream cheese glaze over the warm rolls for a delicious finish.

19. Serve and Enjoy: Serve warm, and enjoy the fantastic flavors and aromas coming from these delightful rolls!
