Ingredients
Scale
1 cup warm milk
2¼ teaspoons instant yeast
½ cup sugar
⅓ cup melted unsalted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs
4 cups flour
½ teaspoon salt
8 oz cream cheese
¼ cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1½ cups diced strawberries
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
½ cup butterscotch chips
¼ cup heavy cream
¼ cup powdered sugar
Instructions
In a bowl, mix warm milk and yeast; let sit 5 minutes until foamy. Stir in sugar, butter, vanilla, and eggs. Add flour and salt, then knead into a soft dough. Cover and let rise for 1 hour until doubled.
Cook strawberries, sugar, and cornstarch in a pan over medium heat until thickened and glossy. Let cool. Beat cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until smooth and creamy.
Roll out the dough into a rectangle. Spread cheesecake mixture evenly, followed by strawberry filling. Roll tightly from the long side and slice into 12 even rolls. Place in a greased baking pan, cover, and let rise 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for 25–30 minutes until golden brown and fluffy.
Melt butterscotch chips with cream until smooth. Whisk in powdered sugar. Drizzle generously over warm rolls.
Notes
Substitute strawberries with raspberries or blueberries for a fun twist.
Add a sprinkle of crushed pecans for texture.
Perfect to make ahead — reheat and glaze just before serving.
