Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a round baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
Roll out the cinnamon rolls in the prepared baking dish, leaving the icing packet aside for later.
In a medium bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cinnamon rolls, making sure it covers the surface.
In a small bowl, mix the chopped strawberries and strawberry jam together. Spoon this mixture over the cream cheese layer.
Sprinkle graham cracker crumbs over the strawberry mixture to add a bit of crunch.
Drizzle melted butter over the top of the rolls to enhance the flavor and help with browning.
Bake the cinnamon rolls for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
Once out of the oven, drizzle the icing packet over the rolls while they are still warm for extra sweetness.

Notes

Berry Variety: Swap out the strawberries for other berries like raspberries or blueberries for a different fruity twist.

Nutty Crunch: Add chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts to the graham cracker crumb topping for extra texture and flavor.

Dairy-Free: Use a dairy-free cream cheese alternative and ensure the cinnamon rolls are dairy-free for a dairy-free version of this treat.

Chocolate Drizzle: Add a drizzle of chocolate sauce over the top for a more indulgent dessert.

If you don't have fresh strawberries, you can use frozen strawberries or strawberry preserves. Be sure to drain any excess liquid from frozen berries before using.
