Ingredients
  

For the Rolls
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup milk
For the Cheesecake Filling
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Strawberry Filling
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, diced
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk until well blended. Gradually add the softened butter and milk, mixing until a soft dough forms.
  3. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a rectangle about 1/4-inch thick.
  4. In another bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until creamy.
  5. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine diced strawberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Cook for about 5 minutes until the strawberries release their juices, then set aside.
Assembly and Baking
  1. Spread the cheesecake filling evenly over the rolled-out dough, then layer the strawberry mixture on top.
  2. Starting from one long side, carefully roll the dough into a log, pinching the edges to seal.
  3. Slice the log into 1-inch thick pieces and place them on a lined baking sheet.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
  5. Let them cool slightly. Dust with powdered sugar or top with whipped cream before serving.

Notes

For a dairy-free version, substitute regular cream cheese with almond or soy-based cream cheese spread. Keep an eye on the rolls while baking; they may need less or more time depending on your oven. Avoid over-mixing the dough.
