Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can (13.8 oz) refrigerated pizza dough or crescent roll sheet
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, finely chopped
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup crushed shortbread cookies or vanilla wafers
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1–2 teaspoons milk (for glaze)
- Extra strawberries or cookie crumbs for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease or line a baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, mix softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Unroll dough onto a lightly floured surface. Spread cream cheese mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Sprinkle chopped strawberries evenly over the cream cheese layer.
- Carefully roll up the dough jelly-roll style and slice into 8–10 even pieces.
- Place rolls in prepared pan, leaving slight space between each.
- In a small bowl, mix crushed cookies and melted butter. Sprinkle over the tops of the rolls.
- Bake for 18–22 minutes or until golden brown and bubbly.
- While rolls are baking, whisk together powdered sugar and milk until smooth to make glaze.
- Let rolls cool slightly, then drizzle with glaze. Garnish with extra strawberries or crumbs if desired. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- Use strawberry preserves if fresh strawberries aren’t available.
- Chill the dough slightly before slicing to make cleaner cuts.
- Store leftovers in the fridge and reheat gently before serving.
