- 1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) active dry yeast
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup warm milk (110°F)
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg

For the Raspberry Filling:
- 1 cup fresh or frozen raspberries

For the Cream Cheese Glaze:

Instructions
-
Make the Dough:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. Add the warm milk, melted butter, and egg. Mix until a soft dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5–7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size. -
Prepare the Raspberry Filling:
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the raspberries, sugar, and cornstarch. Cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens. Let it cool completely. -
Assemble the Rolls:
Roll out the dough into a rectangle approximately 12×15 inches. Spread the cooled raspberry filling evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Roll the dough tightly into a log and slice into 12 equal pieces. Place the rolls in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Cover and let rise for another 30 minutes. -
Bake:
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 20–25 minutes or until golden brown. Allow to cool slightly. -
Make the Glaze:
In a mixing bowl, beat together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Drizzle over the warm rolls before serving.
Notes
- Make sure the raspberry filling has cooled before spreading it on the dough to avoid affecting the rise.
- For extra sweetness, you can add a bit more powdered sugar to the glaze to your liking.
