Ingredients:

For the Dough:

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) instant yeast
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup whole milk, warmed
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs

For the Cheesecake Filling:

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Strawberry Filling:

  • 1 1/2 cups diced strawberries
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice

For the Shortcake Crumble:

  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup freeze-dried strawberries, crushed
  • 1/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed

For the Glaze (Optional):

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2–3 tablespoons milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions:

  1. In a large bowl, combine flour, yeast, sugar, and salt. Add warm milk, melted butter, and eggs. Mix and knead until a smooth dough forms, about 8–10 minutes. Cover and let rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  2. In a small bowl, mix cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Set aside.
  3. Toss diced strawberries with sugar and lemon juice. Let sit for 10 minutes. Drain excess liquid.
  4. Roll dough into a large rectangle (about 12×16 inches). Spread cheesecake filling evenly, then top with strawberries.
  5. Roll tightly from the long edge and cut into 12 rolls. Place in a greased 9×13 baking dish. Cover and let rise for another 30–45 minutes.
  6. Meanwhile, make the crumble: Mix flour, sugar, and crushed freeze-dried strawberries. Cut in butter with a fork until crumbly.
  7. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Sprinkle crumble over rolls and bake for 25–30 minutes or until golden.
  8. Whisk glaze ingredients and drizzle over slightly cooled rolls. Serve warm or at room temperature.
