Servings: 12 cinnamon rolls
Calories: 385kcal
- 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
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!
- 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.
How to Store & Reheat these Strawberry Cinnamon Rolls
- 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!
