Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 3/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (for filling)
- 1/2 cup heavy cream (for filling)
- 1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries, chopped
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (for topping)
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add heavy cream and vanilla extract, mixing until the dough comes together.
- Roll the dough out on a floured surface into a rectangle about 1/2 inch thick.
- In a separate bowl, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Slowly add heavy cream and beat until fluffy.
- Spread the cheesecake filling over the dough, leaving a small border. Roll tightly and slice into 8-10 pieces.
- Place the rolls on the baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and the filling is set.
- While baking, combine strawberries with sugar and lemon juice. Let sit for 10-15 minutes.
- Once rolls have slightly cooled, top with macerated strawberries and serve.

- Use gluten-free flour to make this recipe suitable for gluten-sensitive guests.

- You can freeze unbaked rolls and bake from frozen with a few extra minutes added to baking time.
- Chill cheesecake filling if too soft to spread.
