Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine lukewarm milk with active dry yeast and a teaspoon of sugar. Allow the mixture to sit until frothy, about 5 to 10 minutes.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, sugar, and salt. Add the yeast mixture, softened butter, large egg, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients.
- Transfer the dough to a well-floured surface and knead for about 8 to 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the kneaded dough in a greased bowl and let it rise in a warm area until doubled in size, approximately 1 to 1.5 hours.
- While the dough is rising, beat together softened cream cheese, brown sugar, vanilla extract, a spoonful of flour, and sour cream until smooth.
- In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Set aside.
- Gently punch down the risen dough and roll it out into a large rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick. Spread softened butter over the surface.
- Spread the cheesecake filling evenly over the buttered dough, then sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture across the top.
- Starting from the long edge, roll the dough tightly into a log and slice into 12 equal pieces.
- Place the sliced rolls into a greased baking dish, leaving space between each one, and cover to let rise until doubled in size, about 30 to 45 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the rolls for 25 to 30 minutes or until golden brown.
- While the rolls bake, prepare the icing by beating together softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract, adding enough milk for a smooth consistency.
- Once the rolls have cooled slightly, spread the icing on top and arrange sliced strawberries over the icing.

Notes
Ensure dough rises in a warm area. Freeze unbaked rolls for fresh baking in the morning.
