Ingredients
  

2 cups all-purpose flour

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted

3/4 cup milk

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cream cheese block (8 oz), softened

1/2 cup powdered sugar

1 cup fresh strawberries, diced

1 teaspoon lemon juice

1 teaspoon cornstarch

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Extra powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions
 

Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract until a soft dough forms.

    Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead gently for 1-2 minutes until smooth. Roll it out into a rectangle, about 1/2 inch thick.

      Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a separate bowl, whip the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together until creamy. Set aside.

        Prepare the Strawberry Filling: In another small bowl, mix the diced strawberries with lemon juice and cornstarch. This will thicken the strawberries slightly.

          Assemble the Rolls: Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the rolled-out dough, then sprinkle the prepared strawberries on top.

            Roll and Cut: With the longer side facing you, tightly roll the dough into a log. Cut the log into 12 equal pieces using a sharp knife or kitchen string.

              Arrange in Baking Dish: Place the rolls cut-side up in a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.

                Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

                  Bake the Rolls: Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.

                    Cool and Serve: Let the rolls cool for 10 minutes, then dust with extra powdered sugar. For a special touch, drizzle with a cream cheese glaze if desired (mix cream cheese, powdered sugar, and a little milk until desired consistency).

                        - Presentation Tips: Serve the rolls warm on a large platter, garnished with additional diced strawberries and a dusting of powdered sugar for a beautiful finish.
