- Powdered Sugar: Also known as confectioner’s sugar, powdered sugar adds a delicate sweetness to the cream cheese filling while also contributing to its luxurious and silky texture.
- Cinnamon: A sprinkle of cinnamon not only enhances the overall flavor profile with its warm and comforting notes but also adds a subtle hint of spice that complements the sweetness of the strawberries and cream cheese filling.

How to Make Strawberry Cheesecake Sweet Rolls
- STEP 1: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9-inch round baking dish.
- STEP 2: In a medium bowl, mix together 1 cup of diced strawberries, 1 teaspoon of lemon juice, 1/4 cup of granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Set aside.
- STEP 3: In another bowl, beat 8 oz of softened cream cheese, 1/2 cup of powdered sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon until smooth.
- STEP 4: Unroll the refrigerated crescent roll dough on a clean surface and separate it into 8 triangles.
- STEP 5: Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly onto each crescent roll triangle, covering the surface.
- STEP 6: Spoon the strawberry mixture on top of the cream cheese layer, dividing it evenly among the triangles.
- STEP 7: Starting at the wider end of each triangle, carefully roll up the dough to form a spiral shape and seal the edges.
- STEP 8: Place the filled and rolled dough triangles in the greased 9-inch round baking dish, arranging them snugly next to each other.
- STEP 9: Bake the Strawberry Cheesecake Sweet Rolls in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the rolls are beautifully golden brown and cooked through.
