Everybody knows (and probably loves) cinnamon rolls. They are quite popular. Delicious and fluffy yeast rolls with a thick cinnamon cream cheese glaze on top. Hmmmm… So good! These here are a seasonal version – Cherry & White Chocolate Rolls. Since cherries are all over the place right now, you have to use them for baking, right?

Not too long ago, I was asking my Instagram colleagues what to do with a big basket of cherries. I did not have a good idea at that time, so I asked for some help. There were many suggestions for what to do… cherry marmalade, cherry cake or pie, cherry liquor and much more ideas. I think I should really keep that liquor on my to-do list.

Well – I also asked my friends and one of them said, why not make those cherry rolls again you did some time ago? Yeah, sounds like a good idea!

So today’s recipe is for fluffy and delicious yeast rolls with a filling made with cherries and white chocolate… I did not mention the chocolate yet, right? Well, there is white chocolate involved. And a killer cream cheese frosting on top.

The recipe is easy to prepare – it can easily be adapted to make regular cinnamon rolls or rolls with other kinds of fruits or berries.

DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG

  • English
  • Deutsch

1. Add the lukewarm milk, yeast, and sugar to a large bowl and mix. Let sit for about 5 minutes until bubbles appear. Add the salt, butter, and egg and mix. Add about 3 cups (360g) of the flour, mix it in, and knead for about 5-6 minutes until you get a nice smooth dough. The dough will be soft but should not be too sticky – you might need to add some more flour. The dough is fine if it comes off the sides of the bowl easily. Place the dough ball in a greased bowl, cover it, and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour.

2. For the filling, wash the fresh cherries, pit, and quarter. If you use canned cherries, let them drain and then quarter. Set aside. Melt the white chocolate over a pot with simmering water or melt it in the microwave and let it cool down a bit. Mix with the cream cheese right before you want to add it on top of the dough.

3. Roll out the dough on a floured surface to a rectangle with the size of about 30x45cm. Spread the white chocolate cream cheese mixture on top, distribute the cherries evenly on top, and then roll up everything from the longer side to a tight roll. Cut into 12 equal slices and place those slices in a greased baking pan (min. 23x34cm). Cover and let rise again for about 30-45 minutes.

4. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Bake the cherry rolls in the middle of the oven for about 20-25 minutes. They should get a nice color on top. Take out of the oven and let cool down.

5. Melt the butter for the glaze and mix with the cream cheese, vanilla extract, and confectioners’ sugar until smooth. Add some heavy cream if the mixture is too thick. Pour over the rolls and serve. The rolls are best served still a bit warm!

1. Die lauwarme Milch mit der Trockenhefe und dem Zucker in einer großen Schüssel verrühren und 5 Minuten gehen lassen. Salz, Butter und das Ei zugeben und verrühren. Etwa 360g vom Mehl zugeben und in 5-6 Minuten zu einem glatten und geschmeidigen Teig verarbeiten. Der Teig sollte weich sein, aber nicht zu sehr kleben, ggf. also etwas mehr Mehl dazugeben. Sobald er sich vom Boden der Schüssel löst, ist genug Mehl im Teig. In eine leicht gefettete Schüssel legen, abdecken und für etwa 1 Stunde an einem warmen Ort gehen lassen.

2. Für die Füllung die frischen Kirschen waschen, entsteinen und dann vierteln. Wer Kirschen aus dem Glas nimmt, gut abtropfen lassen und dann vierteln. Zur Seite stellen. Die weiße Kuvertüre über einem Topf mit köchelndem Wasser oder in der Mikrowelle vorsichtig schmelzen und wieder etwas abkühlen lassen und mit dem Frischkäse glatt rühren, kurz bevor sie auf den Teig gestrichen werden soll.

3. Den Teig auf einer bemehlten Fläche zu einem Rechteck von etwa 30×45cm ausrollen und dann mit der Schokolade-Frischkäse-Masse bestreichen und die Kirschen gleichmäßig darauf verteilen. Von der langen Seite her aufrollen und dann mit einem scharfen Messer in 12 gleich große Scheiben schneiden. Die Schnecken mit etwas Abstand in eine gefettete Form (min. 23×34cm) setzen, abdecken und noch einmal 30-45 Minuten gehen lassen.

4. Den Ofen auf 180°C (350°F) Ober-/Unterhitze vorheizen. Die Hefeschnecken auf der mittleren Schiene des Ofens für 20-25 Minuten backen – sie sollten etwas Farbe bekommen haben. Aus dem Ofen nehmen und etwas abkühlen lassen.

5. Für die Glasur die Butter schmelzen und dann mit dem Frischkäse, Vanille Extrakt und Puderzucker verrühren. Sollte die Mixtur zu dickflüssig sein, noch etwas Sahne zugeben und verrühren, bis die Konsistenz passt. Über die Hefeschnecken gießen und dann servieren. Schmecken kurz nach dem Backen noch etwas warm am besten!
