Everyone loves cinnamon rolls! And y’all know I do. I’ve made them all kinds of ways, but these strawberry cinnamon rolls stay in my breakfast rotation. I didn’t want to over-complicate the recipe, so I used puff pastry as a base for these strawberry cinnamon rolls (just like my lazy cinnamon rolls) and a 3-ingredient strawberry filling.

How To Make Strawberry Cinnamon Rolls With Puff Pastry
Assemble the Rolls
Step 1: Roll out the puff pastry and brush it with melted butter, leaving a small border. Spread strawberry jam evenly over the buttered surface, top with sliced strawberries, and sprinkle with ground cinnamon.
Step 2: Roll up the pastry, making sure it’s tight but not overly so. Use a bit of melted butter to seal the open edge of the roll.
Slice and Bake
Step 3: Slice the roll into individual pieces and place them in a parchment paper-lined baking dish.
Step 4: Pop the rolls into the preheated oven.
Make the Icing and Drizzle the Rolls!
Step 5: Whisk together confectioner’s sugar, melted butter, milk, and a bit of strawberry jam until smooth. Adjust the liquid as needed until it’s thin enough to drizzle.
Step 6: Drizzle the icing over your fresh-out-of-the-oven strawberry rolls!
PRO TIP: I swap the icing for my cream cheese frosting whenever I’m craving a strawberry cheesecake roll. And y’all should do it too!

Ingredients
- 1 package frozen puff pastry thawed
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 cup strawberry jam
- 2-3 cups strawberries sliced thinly
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¾ cup confectioner’s sugar
- 3 tablespoons butter melted
- 1 ½ tablespoons milk add more if you need to thin out the mixture
- 1 teaspoon strawberry jam
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Lightly flour your surface and roll out crescent roll (or 1 sheet thawed puff pastry) until about 1/4 inch thick (leave the other sheet in the refrigerator).
- Brush puff pastry with melted butter, leaving 1 inch of space around the edges.
- Evenly add strawberry jam then layer with strawberry slices and sprinkle on ground cinnamon over buttered area.
- Tightly but gently roll the dough up. Use a little melted butter on the open edge of the roll to seal the seam.
- Using a sharp knife, slice the roll into six pieces.
- Place each roll inside a parchment paper lined baking dish. Place the dish in the refrigerator as you repeat the above steps with the last sheet of puff pastry if using.
- Bake the cinnamon rolls in preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until golden (watch carefully!).
- While rolls are baking, make the icing by mixing all remaining ingredients together (confectioner’s sugar, butter, milk and jam) until nice and smooth and pourable. If needed, add a teaspoon more of milk until it is pourable.
- Drizzle over cinnamon rolls when they are fresh out of the oven and enjoy. Happy Baking!
Notes
- Use good jam, boos. This strawberry cinnamon rolls recipe needs real strawberry chunks!
- Don’t pack them too tight. Space out the rolls in your baking dish so they have room to puff up. Overcrowding could make them bake unevenly.
- Keep an eye on the oven. These bake a little longer than usual, but they can go from golden to burnt real quick.
- Get that icing right. You want it pourable but not watery. Add a little milk at a time, or if it’s too thin, mix in more powdered sugar until it looks right.
- Serve them hot. These rolls are best served fresh out of the oven while the pastry is still flaky and the icing is gooey.
- Room Temp: Keep them in an airtight container at room temp for up to 2 days. The pastry stays nice and flaky that way.
- Fridge: They will stay fresh in there for 5 days. Make sure they’re sealed up so they don’t dry out!
- Freezer: Freeze the rolls BEFORE icing them. Once they’ve cooled, place them in an airtight container and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight.
- Reheating: Cover with foil and bake at 350°F until heated through. The microwave works too for single rolls. Enjoy each ooey gooey bite!

Recipe Help
It probably got too warm. Puff pastry needs to be cold when it hits the oven. Keep it chilled until you’re ready to bake, and refrigerate the rolls after prepping if they’ve been sitting out.
They likely overbaked or sat too close to the oven’s hot spots. Bake them on the center rack and pull them out as soon as they’re golden.
They should be golden brown and feel a little firm on top.

I sleep A LOT less than I ever did before! That’s how I get it done 🙂 I’m all about lazy recipes! These look delicious!
Thanks so much Julie! I guess sleep just goes out the window as we get more and more responsibilities.
You need a break every now and then, so it’s perfectly ok to make a lazy cinnamon roll. I bet these are amazing especially with strawberries. Great addition!
Yep we should all be alright with taking a break sometimes!
Being tired is a permanent condition for me (laugh). It is important with or without kids, to kick-back and just relax for awhile. Hope you are able to do that soon.
Love the strawberry cinnamon rolls.

I definitely need to try that whole relax thing sooner than later Velva!
Must be fate…I was just wondering what I could make that would be simple and easy for Valentine’s Day! These look amazing!
Hooray! Glad this showed up at the right time!
Girl you are not alone. I started this year exhausted and I am still struggling to survive. Sleeping more than 5 hours a night is a luxury in my house with trying to fit in in school, blogging and taking care of the home and husband. It’s killing me. But you are right. Sometimes you just have to take the time for yourself and take it easy. This recipe looks so delicious and wouldn’t even have yelled it’s a short cut. I love strawberries!!
Awww girlie, we definitely both need to do better at taking care of ourselves. We simply must! No shortcuts around that. Let me know how you are keeping up with everything!
Girl, I don’t know how you do it. I can badly manage a my full-time job and keeping up with my blog. You have all that plus an events company? You’re producing awesome work on here so you must be doing something right! Just remember to take some time for yourself. I have to have others remind me of that, I know it’s easier said than done.
I think doing too much really is kinda impossible. Something will always suffer so I am trying to do a better job of prioritizing. Yep we definitely need to take care of ourselves much better!
Using puff pastry is such a good idea, I know they’re delish and buttery! The food looks terrific but the real tease was listening to you bragg about long hot baths and a novel…oh how I just wish I could do that again 🙁 like before the babies! PS 32 is still very young you spring chicken you:)
Awww you just made me feel young again! I am grateful hahaha. I will start claiming the being a spring chicken thing a little bit more often, especially in front of my dad!
Hear, hear! I know what you mean! AND I have 2 kids!! I just don’t sleep…
I love your “lazy” recipe, though. It’s something I could use… especially at so close to midnight! 😀
Two kids? Holy cow! When that time comes for me, I will definitely be giving you a serious call for advice!
These rolls would just melt in my mouth! YUM!
Yes! They totally melt in your mouth. Awesome right?
I hear you! Today is like the one day I have the entire afternoon to myself. It is on these days where I waffle between sleep? or finish everything I need to get done? get ahead? You’ve solved it for me; these cinnamon rolls look right up my lazy day alley! Strawberries and puff pastry are so good together!
Gosh I love the idea of napping all day. I want that for my life this weekend! Haha thanks so much for stopping by Mary!
