Delightful Cherry Cinnamon Rolls enveloping sweet, tart cherries in soft dough, topped with cream cheese frosting.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 1/2 cups frozen cherries
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup cold water
  • 2 tbsp corn starch
  • 1/4 cup warm water
  • 1 tsp active dry yeast
  • 3/4 cup whole milk
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 4 1/2 cups bread flour
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 6 tbsp unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 3 oz cream cheese, room temperature
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1–3 tbsp whole milk

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cherry Filling: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine frozen cherries and granulated sugar. Stir in cold water and cook until bubbling. Mix cornstarch with cold water until smooth; add to the pan and cook until thickened. Remove from heat and let cool.
  2. Make the Dough: In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water for about 5 minutes until frothy. In a large bowl, mix whole milk and sugar, then add eggs and the frothy yeast mixture. Gradually add flour and salt; mix until a soft dough forms. Knead on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  3. Shape the Rolls: Roll out the dough into a large rectangle on a floured surface. Spread cooled cherry filling evenly over the dough, ensuring every edge is covered. Roll the dough tightly from one end to the other and slice into 12 equal pieces.
  4. Bake: Place the rolls on a greased baking sheet, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise for about 30 minutes or until they have doubled in size. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.
  5. Prepare Cream Cheese Frosting: In a mixing bowl, beat together unsalted butter and cream cheese until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract; mix well, adding milk as needed to achieve your desired frosting consistency.
  6. Frost & Enjoy: Drizzle the cream cheese frosting over the warm rolls straight from the oven and prepare for the joy of serving this beautiful creation!

Notes

Ensure your yeast is fresh and allow sufficient rising time for fluffy rolls. Adjust the sweetness of the filling to taste.
