How to make Peach Cheesecake Cinnamon Rolls (Step 1, 2, 3…)
Step 1: In a large bowl, mix warm milk, sugar, and instant yeast. Let sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
Step 2: Add melted butter and eggs. Stir in flour and salt until a dough forms. Knead the dough for 6–8 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Step 3: Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled.
Step 4: Meanwhile, mix cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. In another bowl, toss peaches with brown sugar and cinnamon.
Step 5: Roll out the dough on a floured surface into a large rectangle. Spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the dough, then sprinkle with the peach mixture.
Step 6: Roll the dough tightly from one long edge to the other. Slice into 12 rolls.
Step 7: Place rolls in a greased baking dish. Cover and let rise for another 30 minutes.
Step 8: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake rolls for 25–30 minutes or until golden brown.
Step 9: While warm, brush with melted butter and roll in cinnamon sugar. Top with powdered sugar or caramel drizzle before serving.
