Print Recipe

Delightful overnight raspberry sweet rolls topped with a tangy lemon cream cheese glaze, perfect for a cozy breakfast experience.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 package (2 1/4 tsp) active dry yeast
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup fresh raspberries
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • For the lemon cream cheese glaze:
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 2–3 tablespoons lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Activate the yeast: In a small bowl, combine the warm milk and granulated sugar, then sprinkle in the yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it’s frothy.
  2. Mix the dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, egg, and salt. Once the yeast mixture is bubbly, pour it into the bowl with the other ingredients. Gradually add in the flour, one cup at a time, mixing with a wooden spoon until a soft dough forms.
  3. Knead the dough: Lightly flour a clean surface and turn out the dough. Knead for about 8-10 minutes until it’s smooth and elastic.
  4. Let it rise: Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm spot for 1-2 hours, or until doubled in size.
  5. Prepare the filling: Once the dough has risen, roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle (about 15×10 inches). Gently spread butter over the dough, then sprinkle the fresh raspberries evenly.
  6. Roll it up: Starting from one long edge, tightly roll the dough into a log. Pinch the seam to seal and cut it into 12 even pieces.
  7. Second rise: Let the rolls rise for another 30-60 minutes in a warm spot, or until they look fluffy.
  8. Preheat and bake: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Once the rolls have puffed up, bake them in the oven for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.
  9. Make the glaze: While the rolls are baking, prepare the lemon cream cheese glaze by mixing the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, lemon zest, and lemon juice until smooth.
  10. Glaze and enjoy: Once the rolls are out of the oven, drizzle the glaze generously over the warm rolls and serve them immediately.

Notes

For an alternative, you can use coconut oil instead of butter and adjust the glaze for sweetness to your liking.
