Ingredients

Scale

Cinnamon Rolls and Filling

  • 1 (16-ounce) package refrigerated cinnamon roll dough with icing
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Cream Cheese Glaze

  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Oven and Baking Dish: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease an 8×8-inch baking dish to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal of the rolls after baking.
  2. Make the Strawberry Filling: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the chopped strawberries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and vanilla extract. Stir frequently as the mixture heats, cooking until it thickens and reaches a jam-like consistency, approximately 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  3. Prepare the Cinnamon Rolls: Unroll the cinnamon roll dough and gently flatten each individual roll. Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the prepared strawberry filling into the center of each flattened roll. Carefully re-roll each one, ensuring the filling stays inside, and arrange them evenly in the prepared baking dish.
  4. Bake the Rolls: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake the rolls for 13 to 17 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and are fully cooked through.
  5. Make the Cream Cheese Glaze: While the rolls bake, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, milk, and lemon zest in a small bowl. Mix thoroughly until the glaze is smooth and creamy.
  6. Glaze and Serve: Once the cinnamon rolls are baked, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool for about 5 minutes. Drizzle the cream cheese glaze over the warm rolls generously. Serve them warm for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • You can substitute the homemade strawberry filling with store-bought strawberry jam for a quicker preparation.
  • Adding extra fresh chopped strawberries on top of the glaze before serving adds a fresh and vibrant touch.
