Ingredients
Scale
Cinnamon Roll Dough
- 1 package (about 12 oz) of refrigerated cinnamon roll dough with icing
Filling
- 1 cup fresh blackberries
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Icing
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons milk
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Unroll the cinnamon roll dough onto a clean surface to prepare for filling.
- Add the Filling: Sprinkle the ground cinnamon evenly over the dough. Distribute the fresh blackberries across the dough and then evenly sprinkle the granulated sugar on top of the berries.
- Roll and Slice: Carefully roll up the dough tightly from one long edge to the other. Slice the rolled dough into evenly sized rolls, about 1 to 1.5 inches thick.
- Bake the Rolls: Place the slices into a greased baking dish, spacing them slightly apart. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and cooked through.
- Prepare the Cream Cheese Icing: While the rolls are baking, beat together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk in a small bowl until smooth and creamy.
- Ice the Rolls: Remove the rolls from the oven and allow them to cool for about 5 minutes. Spread the cream cheese icing generously over the warm rolls before serving.
Notes
- For a more intense blackberry flavor, gently mash half the berries before spreading them on the dough.
- Ensure the cream cheese is softened at room temperature for easier mixing of the icing.
- These rolls are best enjoyed fresh but can be warmed slightly in the microwave for serving the next day.
- You can substitute fresh blackberries with frozen ones; just thaw and drain excess moisture before using.
