  • 3.5 cups all-purpose flour

Glaze Ingredients

Instructions

  • 1️⃣ In a bowl, combine warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Stir until dissolved and let sit for about 5 minutes until foamy.

  • 6️⃣ Spread the cheesecake filling evenly over the dough, then roll it up tightly. Slice into 12 equal pieces and place in a greased baking dish.
  • 7️⃣ Cover and let rise for another 30-40 minutes.
  • 8️⃣ Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake rolls for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
  • 9️⃣ For the glaze, mix powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  • 🔟 Drizzle the glaze over slightly cooled rolls before serving.

Notes

For a twist, substitute strawberries with raspberries or blueberries. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheat before serving.
