I am so glad you are here. I believe incredible, soul-satisfying food does not have to be complicated. You can create exceptional meals with everyday ingredients. Follow these clear, step-by-step instructions to make these soft, fluffy Strawberry Cheesecake Sweet Rolls, perfect for brunch or dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package (14.2 ounces) refrigerated pizza dough
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, finely chopped
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar (for cheesecake filling)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for cheesecake filling)
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
  • 2 tablespoons milk or heavy cream (for glaze)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (for glaze)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the dough: Unroll the refrigerated pizza dough onto a lightly floured surface. You want a soft, pliable base for these sweet rolls.
  2. Make the cinnamon-sugar mixture: In a small bowl, mix the 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 1 tablespoon cinnamon.
  3. Assemble the rolls: Brush the melted butter evenly over the entire surface of the dough. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the butter. Scatter the chopped fresh strawberries evenly across the dough.
  4. Roll and cut: Starting from a long edge, tightly roll the dough into a log. Use a sharp, un-serrated knife or dental floss to cut the log into 8 equal pieces. These are your Strawberry Sweet Rolls Recipe components.
  5. Prepare for baking: Arrange the cut rolls in a greased 9×13 inch baking dish. Cover the dish loosely with plastic wrap and let the rolls rest in a warm spot for 30 minutes to rise slightly.
  6. Bake the rolls: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the rolls for 18 to 22 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. This creates Bakery Style Sweet Rolls.
  7. Make the cheesecake filling: While the rolls bake, beat the softened cream cheese, 1/4 cup powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth. Set aside.
  8. Make the cream cheese icing: Whisk together the 1/2 cup powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons milk, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract until you have a smooth, pourable glaze. This is the Cream Cheese Icing for Rolls you need.
  9. Glaze and serve: Once the rolls come out of the oven, let them cool for 5 minutes. Dollop spoonfuls of the cheesecake filling mixture over the warm rolls. Drizzle the cream cheese icing over the top. Serve these Gooey Strawberry Rolls warm.

Notes

  • For extra soft baked rolls, cover the pan with foil for the first 10 minutes of baking, then remove the foil to allow the tops to brown.
  • If you prefer a stronger strawberry flavor, you can gently fold 1 tablespoon of strawberry jam into the cream cheese filling.
  • You can use store-bought Cinnabon Style Rolls dough if you prefer a shortcut for this Easy Homemade Sweet Rolls recipe.
