Ingredients

For dough:

  • 1 cup milk
  • 6 Tbsp butter
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 Tbsp active dry yeast
  • 1 ½ tsp salt
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

For strawberry filling:

  • 2 cups California strawberries frozen
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 2 Tbsp arrowroot powder

For cinnamon filling:

  • 2 Tbsp cinnamon
  • ½ cup brown sugar packed
  • 4 Tbsp butter softened

For cream cheese frosting:

  • 4 oz cream cheese softened
  • 2 Tbsp butter softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • tsp salt

Instructions

  • First, heat the milk and melt down the butter. Mix together and then let cool for 10 minutes.
  • Add flour, yeast, salt, and sugar to a large bowl. Then add milk, butter, and vanilla.
  • Using a stand mixer with a dough hook or a spatula, fold ingredients together until combined. Add 2 Tbsp of milk if needed so that dough is soft, but not sticky.
  • Knead for about 5 minutes until the dough is soft and smooth. Transfer dough to a greased bowl and cover with cling wrap. Let it sit at room temperature for 15 minutes.
  • While the dough sits, make the strawberry filling. Over medium heat, combine strawberries, sugar, and arrowroot powder. Stir until it is thickened for about 10 minutes. Use a potato masher to break down the strawberries. Remove from heat and let cool.
  • After 15 minutes, roll the dough onto a floured surface so that it creates a large rectangle (about 9 x 14 inches).
  • Mix cinnamon and brown sugar in a bowl. Spread 4 Tbsp softened or melted butter across the entirety of the dough, then sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly across the dough surface. Use your fingers to rub the cinnamon sugar into the dough.
  • Spread the strawberry filling evenly on top of the layer of cinnamon filling.
  • Roll the dough up tightly, then slice into 8 even pieces. Place the rolls into a greased baking dish. Cover with cling wrap and leave at room temperature for at least 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes.
  • While rolls are baking, make the cream cheese frosting. Beat all frosting ingredients together until smooth. Leave at room temperature.
  • Remove from the oven and let them cool. Then spread the cream cheese frosting on top and enjoy!
