Ingredients

Scale

3 1/2 cups frozen cherries
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup cold water
2 tbsp corn starch
1/4 cup warm water
1 tsp active dry yeast
3/4 cup whole milk
1/3 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
4 1/2 cups bread flour
1/2 tsp salt
6 tbsp unsalted butter, room temperature
3 oz cream cheese, room temperature
2 cups powdered sugar
2 tsp vanilla extract
1–3 tbsp whole milk

Instructions

Prepare the Cherry Filling: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine frozen cherries and granulated sugar. Stir in cold water and cook until bubbling. Mix cornstarch with cold water until smooth; add to the pan and cook until thickened. Remove from heat and let cool.
Make the Dough: In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water for about 5 minutes until frothy. In a large bowl, mix whole milk and sugar, then add eggs and yeast mixture. Gradually add flour and salt; mix until dough forms. Knead on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes.
Shape the Rolls: Roll out the dough into a rectangle. Spread cooled cherry filling evenly over the dough. Roll tightly and slice into 12 equal pieces.
Bake: Place rolls on a greased baking sheet, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise for about 30 minutes or until doubled in size. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for 25-30 minutes or golden brown.
Prepare Cream Cheese Frosting: Beat together butter and cream cheese until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract; mix well, adding milk as needed for desired consistency.
Frost & Enjoy: Drizzle frosting over warm rolls before serving.
