CHEESECAKE STUFFED CINNAMON ROLLS

Categories     Egg     Breakfast     Side     Bake

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 cans Pre-made Cinnamon Roll Dough
2 packets Cream Cheese
1 Large Egg
1/2 cup Sugar
1 teaspoon Cinnamon

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 F
  • 2. Unroll a tube of cinnamon roll dough and use a rolling pin to flatten it out to roughly the size of a 9" x 9" baking dish. Place a sheet of parchment paper on the bottom of the baking dish, then place the flattened dough on top. You may need to use your fingers to spread it out further.
  • 3. Combine cream cheese, egg, sugar, and cinnamon in a mixing bowl, whipping until light and fluffy, then spread mixture on top of cinnamon roll dough.
  • 4. Open the second tube of cinnamon roll dough. Cut each cinnamon roll in half width-wise, creating shorter, squatter rolls. Place on top of the cheesecake spread, so rolls are touching one another. Bake for 25 to 27 minutes, or until rolls are lightly golden.
  • 5. Drizzle with frosting from cinnamon roll packages, if desired. Let rest 10 to 15 minutes before cutting into bars.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, active dry yeast for the best results. If you're using instant yeast, you can skip the proofing step.
  • Make sure the milk is warm, but not hot, before adding the yeast. Hot milk will kill the yeast and prevent the dough from rising.
  • Knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic, about 5-7 minutes. This will help develop the gluten in the dough and make it stronger.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours, or until it has doubled in size. This will give the yeast time to ferment and produce gas, which will make the rolls light and fluffy.
  • To make the cinnamon filling, mix together brown sugar, cinnamon, and butter. You can also add other spices, such as nutmeg or cardamom, to taste.
  • Spread the cinnamon filling evenly over the rolled-out dough. Be sure to leave a 1-inch border around the edges so that the filling doesn't ooze out.
  • Roll the dough up tightly, starting from the long side. Pinch the edges together to seal the seam.
  • Cut the dough into 12 even pieces. Place the rolls in a greased baking dish and let them rise for 30 minutes, or until they have doubled in size.
  • Bake the rolls in a preheated oven at 375°F for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
