Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • Ingredients You’ll Need
  • For the Dough
  • 2 cups strawberry cheesecake coffee creamer
  • ½ cup unsalted butter
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 2¼ teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 4½ cups all-purpose flour divided
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • For the Filling
  • 6 oz cream cheese softened
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 can 21 oz strawberry pie filling
  • For the Glaze
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons strawberry cheesecake coffee creamer

Method
 

1. Make the Dough

In a saucepan, combine the creamer, butter, and sugar. Warm gently over medium heat until the butter melts and the mixture starts to steam—don’t boil it. Remove from heat and let it cool until just warm (around 110°F). Too hot = dead yeast. Too cold = sleepy yeast. Sprinkle in the yeast and let it sit for about 5 minutes until foamy. Stir in 4 cups of flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix until a sticky dough forms. Cover and let it rise for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size. Add the remaining flour and mix lightly. Optional but helpful: chill the dough for easier handling.

    2. Roll & Fill

    Lightly flour your surface and roll the dough into a large rectangle (about 20×16 inches). In a small bowl, mix the cream cheese with sugar until smooth. Spread it evenly across the dough. Spoon the strawberry filling on top and gently spread it out. Leave a small border on one long edge. Roll the dough tightly into a log, starting from the filled side.

      3. Slice & Second Rise

      Cut into 2-inch rolls using floss or a sharp knife. Place into a greased 9×13 pan. Cover and let rise again for 20–30 minutes while your oven preheats to 375°F (190°C).

        4. Bake

        Bake for about 40–45 minutes until golden brown. Check the center rolls—if they look underdone, give them a few more minutes.

          5. Glaze & Finish

          Mix powdered sugar with creamer until smooth. Drizzle generously over slightly cooled rolls.

            Pro tip: glaze while warm for that melt-in effect 😍

          Notes

          ⚠️ Common Mistakes to Avoid

          • Overheating the dough mixture – this kills the yeast instantly
          • Adding too much flour – results in dense, dry rolls
          • Skipping the second rise – your rolls won’t be fluffy
          • Overfilling – leads to messy rolling and leaking

          ❓ FAQs

          Can I make these overnight?
           Yes! Assemble the rolls, cover, and refrigerate overnight. Let them sit at room temp before baking.
          Can I use fresh strawberries instead of canned filling?
           You can, but cook them down first to thicken—otherwise the rolls may get soggy.
          How do I store leftovers?
           Keep them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat before serving.
          Can I freeze them?
           Absolutely. Freeze baked or unbaked rolls and thaw before reheating or baking.
