These Cream Cheese Cinnamon Rolls are an unbelievably tasty! I keep buying the big pack of dinner rolls from Costco but they start getting stale halfway through the massive pack, so I need to find some creative ways to make them enjoyable so they don’t go to waste.
If you’re looking for a yummy breakfast, or a snack, or even a dessert, you need to give my recipe a try! This recipe combines the soft, and fluffy texture of the dinner rolls with a rich cream cheese filling topped off with a delightful cinnamon butter sauce.
Your dinner guests will be impressed with these rolls for dessert, or you could just enjoy them with your tea (or coffee) for breakfast, on weekend brunches, or just any time of the day really- these rolls are amazing! And to make things even better, they’re super easy to make!
These delicious rolls will make your house smell amazing. The sweet aroma of warm cinnamon combined with yummy cream cheese fills the air better than any scented candle ever could! They make the perfect comforting snack to enjoy with your morning or afternoon tea or coffee. Give my recipe a try, you’ll fall in love!
*If you’re looking for a more savoury version of this dish, try my Cheesy Hawaiian Roll Garlic Bread recipe, they’re equally tasty!
INGREDIENTS:
For the Rolls:
12 soft dinner rolls (Hawaiian sweet bread works well too)
5 tablespoons of butter, melted
1 tablespoons of brown sugar
1 tablespoon of cinnamon
For the Cream Cheese Filling:
8 tablespoons of softened cream cheese
6 tablespoons of vanilla yogurt
1 tablespoon of white sugar
1 egg
***If you want a more heavy, cheesecake type filling, substitute the yogurt with more cream cheese.
STEPS:
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. Grease a large baking dish (9×13 works well).
Place the rolls in the dish and cut a small circle in the top of each roll and carefully pull out the cut piece of bread, making sure not to cut the bottom of the rolls.
Add the melted butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon to a small bowl and mix well until it’s all combined.
Top the rolls with this mixture and be generous- get it all over the tops and insides of each roll, so they’re nicely coated.
Add the cream cheese and yogurt to another small bowl and mix until it’s smooth. Crack the egg in there and mix again. Then, add sugar and mix some more until it’s nice and creamy.
Gently fill each roll with the cream cheese mixture, be generous once again.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes.
Don’t burn yourself, the rolls will be hot, it’s best to wait a few minutes before separating the rolls from each other.
I like to eat these warm and I recommend you try them that way too!
Bon appétit!
