These Triple Berry Cinnamon Rolls are pillowy soft and can be made in under 2 hours. These are filled with a brown sugar cinnamon mixture and a fresh homemade triple berry filling. These are the perfect rolls for any breakfast occasion.
1. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook attachment, add all ingredients for dough to mixing bowl.
2. Knead the dough on medium low speed for 5-7 minutes. You’ll know when the dough is done kneading, when you press your fingertip into the dough and it springs back slowly. Transfer dough to a lightly greased bowl. Spray top of dough with nonstick spray, then cover with plastic wrap.
4. Preheat oven to 100F. Once the oven reaches this temperature, turn the oven off. Place the covered dough in the warm oven and allow to rise for 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, make the triple berry filling. In a large skillet add all ingredients for berry filling. Cook the fruit, stirring occasionally, until fruit softens and sugar dissolves (only a few minutes). The filling won’t have a lot of liquid. This is what you want, because if it had a lot of liquid, it would make the rolls difficult to bake.
5. Roll dough on a lightly floured surface into a 12×18 inch rectangle. Spread 4 tablespoons softened butter over dough. Sprinkle brown sugar cinnamon mixture over butter, and rub gently with your hand to evenly distribute the mixture over the entire rectangle. Spread berry mixture over dough.
6. You can roll/cut the rolls two ways. First, using a pizza cutter, cut the dough into 9 strips, starting at the short side. Roll each strip into cylinders. I find this method easier with the berries in the filling.
Alternatively, roll dough, starting at short edge, into a cylinder. Using dental floss or a serrated knife, cut into 9 rolls. Place in lightly greased 9×9 pan. Cover pan with plastic wrap.
7. Preheat oven to 100F. Once the oven reaches this temperature, turn the oven off. Place rolls in warm oven for 15 minutes. Remove rolls from oven.
8. Preheat oven to 350F. Once the oven reaches this temperature, place rolls in oven. Bake for 28-32 minutes, or until rolls are golden brown in color. These rolls take a little onger to bake, because of the fruit filling.
9. While the rolls bake, make the frosting. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese and butter until light and fluffy. Gradually and slowly add in powdered sugar until combined. Add in vanilla extract. Beat until frosting is fluffy.
10. Allow rolls to cool a few minutes before spreading frosting over rolls. Enjoy!
