# Ingredients:

→ Dough

01 - 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
02 - 1/4 cup granulated sugar
03 - 1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) instant yeast
04 - 1/2 tsp salt
05 - 3/4 cup warm milk (about 110°F)
06 - 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
07 - 1 large egg

→ Strawberry Cheesecake Filling

08 - 8 oz cream cheese, softened
09 - 1/4 cup granulated sugar
10 - 1 tsp vanilla extract
11 - 1 cup fresh strawberries, finely chopped
12 - 1/4 cup strawberry jam

→ Cinnamon Sugar Mixture

13 - 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
14 - 1/2 cup brown sugar
15 - 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

→ Cream Cheese Glaze

16 - 4 oz cream cheese, softened
17 - 2 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
18 - 1 cup powdered sugar
19 - 1 tsp vanilla extract
20 - 2 tbsp milk (as needed for consistency)

# Directions:

01 - In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. In a separate bowl, mix the warm milk, melted butter, and egg. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until the dough begins to come together. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes, or until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean towel, and let it rise for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
02 - In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Stir in the chopped strawberries and strawberry jam until well combined.
03 - In a small bowl, mix the softened butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon until smooth and well combined.
04 - Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle (about 12×18 inches). Spread the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the dough, then layer the strawberry cheesecake filling on top. Carefully roll the dough up into a tight log, starting from the long edge. Cut the dough into 12 equal rolls and place them in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Cover the rolls with a clean towel and let them rise for about 30 minutes.
05 - Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
06 - While the rolls are baking, beat the softened cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk (if needed) until smooth and creamy. Adjust the consistency with more milk if the glaze is too thick.
07 - Once the rolls are baked and slightly cooled, drizzle the cream cheese glaze over the top. Serve warm and enjoy the gooey, creamy goodness!

# Notes:

01 - The rolls can be prepared the night before and stored in the refrigerator for a quick bake in the morning.
02 - You can substitute the fresh strawberries with strawberry preserves if fresh berries are unavailable.
03 - For an extra indulgent touch, add more cinnamon sugar on top before baking.
