Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 1/2 cups frozen cherries
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup cold water
  • 2 tbs corn starch
  • 1/4 cup warm water
  • 1 tsp active dry yeast
  • 3/4 cup whole milk
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 4 1/2 cups bread flour
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 6 tbs unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 3 oz cream cheese, room temperature
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1–3 tbs whole milk

Instructions

  1. Prepare the cherry filling by cooking frozen cherries with sugar, cold water, and cornstarch in a saucepan until thickened. Let cool.
  2. In a small bowl, mix warm water and yeast. In a large bowl, whisk together milk, sugar, eggs, flour, and salt; add yeast mixture. Knead for about 8-10 minutes.
  3. Allow the dough to rise in a greased bowl until doubled in size (about 1 hour).
  4. Roll out the dough into a rectangle, spread softened butter, and evenly distribute cooled cherry filling before rolling tightly and cutting into pieces.
  5. Place pieces in a greased dish; let rise for another 30 minutes before baking in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) until golden brown.
  6. Prepare frosting by mixing softened butter, cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and enough milk for desired consistency; drizzle over warm rolls.
