Ingredients

For Sweet Rolls

  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 package Red Star Yeast Platinum 1/4 oz. or 2 1/4 teaspoons
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 4 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt

For Blackberry Pie Filling

  • 2 cups blackberries fresh or frozen
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • juice of 1 lemon

For Cream Cheese Icing

  • 4 ounces softened cream cheese
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Heat milk and butter to about 90-95° in a microwave safe bowl. Butter does not need to be completely melted.
  • Add yeast and sugar to milk and butter, and mix well. Set aside about 5-10 minutes, until yeast starts to bubble. 
  • Beat eggs in a large bowl and add in milk and yeast mixture.
  • Mix in 2 cups of flour along with kosher salt, stirring well.
  • Add flour about a 1/4 cup at a time until mixture starts to form a ball and comes away from the bowl, about 1 cup. 
  • Add dough onto a lightly floured surface.
  • Knead dough for 3-5 minutes or until dough is no longer sticky. 
  • Cover dough and set aside to rise at least one hour or until doubled in size.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the blackberry filling. Adding fresh or frozen blackberries to a saucepan with sugar, cornstarch and lemon juice. 
  • Cook over medium- high heat until mixture starts to boil. Lower to medium heat, stirring until thickened. Set aside to cool. 
  • Punch down dough and roll into a rectangle, about 12 inches x 12 inches in an even thickness.
  • Spread blackberry pie filling over dough and roll up, pinching the seam together to seal.
  • Slice into 12 slices using a serrated knife. Carefully place on a greased jelly roll pan or pie plate about 2 inches apart.
  • Cover and allow rolls to rise while you preheat the oven to 375°.
  • Bake rolls for 17-20 minutes or until golden brown and centers of rolls are baked through. 
  • Prepare the cream cheese frosting by adding cream cheese, powdered sugar, cream and vanilla to a mixer, beating until light and fluffy.
  • Allow rolls to cool at least 10 minutes or completely before icing.
