Ingredients
Ingredients of the dough:
3¼ cups of flour
2 teaspoons of instant yeast
¼ cup of white sugar
½ teaspoon salt
1 egg
¼ cup of water
¾ cup of milk
⅓ cup butter, softenedStuffing ingredients:
21-ounce can of Lucky Leaf strawberry shortcake filling
2 teaspoons cinnamon
½ teaspoonful of sugarLemon Cream and Frosted Cheese:
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
3 tablespoons of butter, softened
1 cup of powdered sugar
¼ half and half cup
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon of lemon peel (one lemon)
1 teaspoon vanillaInstructions
To make the dough: In a small saucepan over medium-low heat add the milk and butter. Stir until butter has melted and removed from heat. Let it rest until it is warm.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2¼ cups flour, yeast, sugar, and salt. Add to the mixer with the dough hook attached. (You can also do this by hand, just knead it until it is smooth once all the ingredients are added). Add the egg and water and mix until it starts to combine. Slowly add the milk mixture and a cup of flour until the dough begins to form and is smooth. Let the dough rest for 10 minutes.
On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into a large 9×15 square. Approximately ¼-1/2 inch thick. Spread the strawberry shortcake filling evenly over the dough. In a small bowl combine the cinnamon and sugar and sprinkle over the strawberry shortcake filling. Roll the 15-inch side into a log and pinch the seams. Cut into 9-12 slices depending on the thickness of the cinnamon rolls. Place in a greased 9×13-inch tray and cover with a damp cloth and let rise for 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Bake for 30 minutes or until only the top is browned.
To make the glaze: Beat the cream cheese, butter, and powdered sugar until smooth. Add half and half, vanilla, lemon juice, and lemon peel until combined. Frost over the hot cinnamon rolls and enjoy!
