Ingredients
Scale
Dough and Filling
- 1 can refrigerated cinnamon rolls with icing (8-count)
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/4 cup strawberry jam (optional, for extra flavor)
- Powdered sugar (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Baking Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease an 8×8-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
- Make Strawberry Filling: In a small saucepan, combine the chopped strawberries, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and a mixture of cornstarch and water. Cook over medium heat for 5–7 minutes, stirring frequently until the mixture thickens into a jam-like consistency. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
- Prepare Cream Cheese Mixture: In a small bowl, blend the softened cream cheese with vanilla extract until smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Assemble Rolls: Carefully unroll each cinnamon roll slightly. Spread approximately 1 teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture evenly inside each roll, followed by 1 teaspoon of the cooled strawberry filling. Roll each cinnamon roll back up and place them snugly into the prepared baking dish.
- Add Topping: Spoon any leftover strawberry filling evenly over the tops of the rolls to enhance flavor and moisture.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20–25 minutes or until the rolls are golden brown and cooked through.
- Finish and Serve: Remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool slightly. Drizzle the included icing over the warm rolls and sprinkle with powdered sugar before serving for a beautiful presentation and added sweetness.
Notes
- For an extra boost of strawberry flavor, warm the strawberry jam gently and drizzle it over the rolls before adding the icing.
- These rolls are best enjoyed warm but can be reheated in the microwave for 15–20 seconds if needed.
