Instructions

Preheat and Prepare: Preheat the oven to 350°F and lightly butter a baking dish to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal.
Unroll Cinnamon Rolls: Carefully unroll each cinnamon roll and lay them flat to prepare for filling.
Spread Strawberry Preserves: Spread a thin layer of strawberry preserves evenly along each cinnamon roll strip, providing a fruity base.
Make Cheesecake Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth and creamy.
Add Cheesecake Filling: Spoon and spread the cream cheese mixture over the strawberry preserves on each cinnamon strip.
Sprinkle Fresh Strawberries: Evenly sprinkle chopped fresh strawberries over the cream cheese layer for added texture and flavor.
Roll and Arrange: Carefully roll the strips back up and place them snugly in the prepared baking dish.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 18–22 minutes, until the rolls are golden brown and cooked through.
Cool and Garnish: Allow the rolls to cool slightly, then drizzle with the included icing. Optionally, top with extra chopped strawberries or crushed graham crackers.
Serve: Serve the rolls warm for the best taste and texture experience.

Notes

For a richer filling, use whipped cream cheese or mascarpone for a creamier texture.
You can substitute homemade cinnamon roll dough if preferred for a fresher taste.
These rolls are best served fresh but can be gently reheated in the microwave if needed.
