Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x9-inch baking dish.
In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
Roll out the cinnamon roll dough onto a lightly floured surface and press to flatten into a rectangle.
Spread the cheesecake mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
Drizzle the strawberry jam or puree over the cheesecake filling and sprinkle with chopped fresh strawberries.
Roll up the dough tightly, then slice it into about 8 pieces. Place the rolls into the prepared baking dish.
Bake the cinnamon rolls in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
While the rolls are baking, prepare the glaze by mixing together the melted butter, granulated sugar, heavy cream, and powdered sugar. Whisk until smooth.
Once the rolls are done baking, remove them from the oven and drizzle with the glaze.
Serve warm, garnished with extra fresh strawberries if desired.

Notes

For the best texture and flavor, use fresh strawberries. If using frozen, thaw and drain them first to avoid excess moisture.

If the glaze is too thin, add extra powdered sugar or reduce the amount of heavy cream for a thicker consistency.

The cinnamon rolls can be prepared the night before and refrigerated. Bake them in the morning as directed.

These rolls are a great base for experimenting with other fruits such as blueberries, raspberries, or peaches.
