Cherry cream cheese rolls

Cherry Cream Cheese Rolls

Print Recipe

Ingredients

  • 8 frozen bread rolls I prefer Rhodes
  • 1 21 oz can cherry pie filling
  • 4 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1/4 cup of butter
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 2 Tbs water
  • powdered sugar for sprinkling

Instructions

  • Thaw your frozen rolls until they are soft but still cold so you can work with them without being to sticky. Roll out rolls on a floured surface to about 4-5" diameter (they tend to shrink back a little and that's ok)
  • Cut softened cream cheese into 8 squares and place one on each flattened roll. You can spread it a little on the roll but be sure to leave a border on edge.
  • Add a spoonful of cherry pie filling over the cream cheese (5-6 cherries fits well) (You will have extra cherries left)
  • Pull the edges of the rolls up to the top to form a ball and pinch the seams together at the top. Try to get the edges to stick together as best you can. It's ok if some filling escapes.
  • Place the 8 rolls into a greased 9" cast iron skillet (a pie pan works as an alternative dish)
  • Let rise until doubled in size (apprx 1-2 hours)
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Melt butter and sugar in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring often. Bring butter/sugar mixture to a gently boil and continue boiling and stirring constantly for 1 minute) Add in 2 Tbs water and stir.
  • Pour mixture over rolls and bake for 25-30 minutes - checking frequently to make sure the bread isn't browning too quickly. If it is, cover with foil and continue baking.
  • Remove from oven and dust with powdered sugar while still warm.
  • Enjoy
