Homemade Raspberry Sweet Rolls with Light Cream Cheese Glaze

These soft and fluffy raspberry sweet rolls are made with an easy homemade dough, filled with a sweet raspberry filling, and topped with a light cream cheese glaze—perfect for breakfast or a sweet treat!
Servings: 12 rolls

Ingredients

For the Sweet Roll Dough:

  • ¾ cup warm milk about 110°F
  • 2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast 1 packet
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 egg yolk
  • ¼ cup melted butter
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • For the Raspberry Filling:
  • 1 ½ cups frozen raspberries
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Light Cream Cheese Glaze:

  • 4 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, whisk together warm milk, yeast, and sugar. Let sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy. (Tip: The milk can be warmed in the microwave in 10 second increments until it reaches 110°F)
  • Add the egg, egg yolk, and melted butter, mixing well.
  • Gradually stir in the flour and salt, then knead the dough for 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic. (Tip: This best works in a stand mixer with a dough hook.)
  • Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size. (Tip: Place the bowl on top of a heating pad that is warmed, cover the bowl and watch it rise)
  • When the dough is ready: In a small bowl, fold together the raspberries, sugar, cornstarch, and vanilla extract until the raspberries are coated. Set aside.
  • Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface into a 12x16-inch rectangle.
  • Spread the raspberry filling evenly over the dough, leaving a ½-inch border around the edges.
  • Carefully roll the dough from the long side into a log and pinch the seam to seal. If needed, wet the edges of the dough to encourage the dough to seal.
  • Using a sharp knife, slice into 12 even rolls. Place the rolls into a 9x13-inch baking dish that is prepared with either parchment paper or non stick spray.
  • Cover and let rise for 45 minutes to an hour, until puffy.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • Let cool slightly before adding the glaze.
  • In a bowl, blend together cream cheese, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  • Drizzle over the warm rolls before serving.
