- 8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened

Instructions
- Combine warm milk and yeast in a large bowl and let sit for 5 minutes until foamy. Add melted butter, eggs, sugar, and salt, stirring until combined.
- Gradually add flour, mixing until a soft dough forms. Knead on a floured surface for 8-10 minutes until smooth. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1 hour.
- Meanwhile, prepare the strawberry filling by cooking strawberries, sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice until thickened. Cool completely.
- Beat cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla for the cheesecake filling until smooth. In a separate bowl, mix softened butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon.
- Punch down the risen dough and roll into an 18×24-inch rectangle. Spread the cinnamon mixture evenly, leaving a border.
- Spread the cheesecake mixture over the cinnamon layer, then dollop and spread the strawberry filling on top.
- Roll the dough tightly from the long edge and pinch the seam to seal. Cut into 12 equal pieces.
- Place rolls in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, cover, and let rise for 30-45 minutes until puffy.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
- Beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla for the glaze until smooth. Drizzle over warm rolls and serve.
