Description
Sweet, fluffy, and fruity, these strawberry cinnamon rolls are an easy yet indulgent twist on a breakfast classic. Made with frozen bread dough, strawberry pie filling, and topped with a tangy cream cheese glaze, they’re perfect for brunch or a cozy treat.
Ingredients
1 lb frozen bread dough (thawed)
2 tsp ground cinnamon
2 tsp granulated sugar
21 oz strawberry pie filling
½ cup heavy cream (for baking)
1½ cups powdered sugar
⅛ cup heavy cream (for glaze)
4 oz cream cheese, softened
2 tsp lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking dish.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the thawed bread dough into a large rectangle.
- Sprinkle the ground cinnamon and granulated sugar evenly over the dough.
- Spread the strawberry pie filling over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Roll the dough tightly from the long edge into a log and slice into 1½-inch thick rolls.
- Place the rolls in the greased baking dish and pour ½ cup of heavy cream over them.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes until golden and bubbly.
- While the rolls bake, prepare the glaze by beating together cream cheese, lemon juice, powdered sugar, and ⅛ cup heavy cream until smooth.
- Let the rolls cool for about 5 minutes after baking, then spread the glaze on top.
Notes
Swap strawberry pie filling with cherry or raspberry for variety.
Add chopped nuts like pecans or almonds for extra texture.
Enhance glaze with a dash of vanilla extract or pinch of cardamom.
Use homemade sweet dough for a richer flavor.
Store in the fridge for up to 4 days and reheat before serving.
