  • 1–2 tablespoons reserved strawberry filling
  • 1 tablespoon whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon pure strawberry extract, optional

Instructions

  1. Make the Strawberry Filling: Cook the strawberries, brown sugar, and lemon juice over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally. Mash the berries as they cook. Combine cornstarch and water, stir into the berries, and cook until thick. Stir in strawberry extract, then set aside to cool.
  2. Make the Tangzhong: Whisk water and flour in a saucepan, cook until a paste forms, then set aside.
  3. Make the Cinnamon Roll Dough: Mix flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. Add cream, milk, egg, vanilla, and tangzhong. Knead until a dough forms. Add butter and knead until smooth.
  4. Fill and Shape the Rolls: Roll out the dough, spread cinnamon sugar and strawberry jam, roll into strips, and place in a baking pan to rise.
  5. Bake and Frost: Bake the rolls until golden. Mix butter, cream cheese, powdered sugar, milk, reserved jam, and strawberry extract for the frosting. Spread over the warm rolls and enjoy!

Notes

  • You can use either frozen or fresh strawberries for the filling.
  • Feel free to adjust the amount of cinnamon in the filling to suit your taste preferences.
  • Ensure the rolls are fully cooled before frosting to prevent the glaze from melting too quickly.
