Ingredients

  • ¾ cup whole milk warm
  • ¼ cup vegetable oil
  • 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 3 cups all purpose flour

FOR THE FILLING

  • 2 Tablespoons unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup raspberries mashed
  • 3 Tablespoons brown sugar
  • pinch of ground cinnamon

FOR THE FROSTING

  • 4 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 2 cups icing sugar
  • 1 teaspoon milk

Instructions

  • Prepare the dough. In the bowl of a stand mixer combine the milk with the oil, yeast, sugar, egg and egg yolk. Mix until everything is well incorporated. 
  • Fit the mixer with the dough attachment and add the flour. Slowly mix until it just barely comes together. Set on medium and knead for 10 minutes or until the dough forms a ball. If it’s sticky add 2 Tbsp flour. 
  • Transfer to a greased bowl and cover with a cloth. Let it rise for 1 ½ hours or until it doubles in size. 
  • After the dough has risen transfer to a floured surface. With the help of a rolling pin, roll until you have a 13”x8” rectangle. 
  • Spread the softened butter over the dough. Over the butter spread the mashed raspberries leaving a ¼” margin on all sides. 
  • Sprinkle with the brown sugar and cinnamon and tightly roll starting from the 8” side. 
  • With the help of a sharp knife cut out the 8 rolls. Place into a greased baking dish and cover with a cloth. Let them rise for 40 minutes. 
  • While the rolls are rising preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Transfer the rolls to the oven and bake for 25 minutes or until the rolls are golden brown. 
  • Remove from the oven and let them cool down completely before frosting. To make the glaze, add the ingredients for the frosting in a medium bowl and mix until smooth. When combined, drizzle over the sweet rolls. If desired, double the frosting batch.

Notes

You can use frozen raspberries if desired
