I know it is the end of summer and berry season, but you must hurry and make these Raspberry Cream Cheese Sweet Rolls before you start on all your Pumpkin baking:) They are DIVINE. I have made them with fresh and frozen raspberries and both work beautifully! One little tip thought, if you use frozen don’t let them defrost first because that gets messy (I know from experience-ha!)! They are a lot easier to work with fresh or frozen. You can easily use your favorite sweet roll dough or even pick up some frozen Rhodes bread dough (defrost first, of course). My family loved them gooey straight out of the oven (pictured below) but they were wonderful the next day too (pictured above) when I served them to some visiting friends.
I have made these raspberry Cream cheese sweet rolls several times this summer with rave reviews. I have also been experimenting with Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls–which are coming to Mel and Boys Kitchen soon. I am getting excited for Autumn baking, but wanting to hold on to summer for a few more weeks! I hope you have a wonderful week! xoxo

Raspberry Cream Cheese Sweet Rolls
Ingredients
Dough
- 1 cup lukewarm milk
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1/3 cup butter, cut up
- 4 1/2 cup all purpose flour
- 1 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 1/2 teaspoons instant yeast or active dry yeast
Cream Cheese Filling
- 8 oz. cream cheese, at room temperature
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Raspberry Mixture
- 12 oz. bag frozen raspberries, not thawed OR 2 cups fresh raspberries
- 2 Tablespoons of sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
Icing
- 1 1/2 cups confectioners’ sugar
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- 1–2 tablespoons milk
Instructions
Dough:
- Mix together and read all of the dough ingredients using a stand mixer with the dough hook attachment or by hand, to make a smooth soft dough.
- Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turn to grease all sides, cover the bowl and let the dough rise for approximately 60 minutes, or until it is about doubled in size.
Filling
- In a small bowl, combine the cream cheese, 3 tablespoons of sugar, and vanilla extract. Set aside. In another small bowl, combine frozen or fresh raspberries, with 2 tablespoons of sugar, and cornstarch. If using fresh berries you may want to crush them a little bit. Set this bowl aside as well.
Assemble
- Roll out your dough until it measures 16 x 21inches (rectangular shape). Spread cream cheese filling evenly over the dough.
- Place raspberry filling on top and distribute evenly. Beginning with the longer side that’s closest to you, roll dough into a log. Pinch edges closed and cut into 12 equal pieces.
- Place sweet rolls in four rows of three into a greased 9×13 pan and cover with a clean kitchen towel or lightly oiled plastic wrap. Let rise in a warm place and let rolls rise until nearly doubled in size (for 30- 60minutes).
- Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. When the rolls are finished rising, uncover and bake for 15 minutes or until the tops are golden brown.
Icing
- While the raspberry sweet rolls are baking, prepare the icing by combining the confectioners’ sugar, butter, vanilla and milk. Once the rolls have finished baking, let cool for 5 minutes and then spread the icing evenly over the top.
