Strawberry Cheesecake Cinnabon Rolls with a dazzle of pecans

Ingredients:

1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent rolls

4 oz cream cheese, softened

2 tbsp granulated sugar

1/4 tsp vanilla extract

1 cup diced strawberries

1/2 cup chopped pecans

2 tbsp butter, melted

1/4 cup brown sugar

1 tsp cinnamon

Directions:

Preheat Oven and Prepare Dough:

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Unroll the crescent roll dough and press the seams together to form a single rectangle on a flat surface.

Prepare Filling:

In a small bowl, combine the cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the crescent roll dough.

Add Toppings:

Sprinkle the diced strawberries and chopped pecans over the cream cheese layer.

Roll and Cut:

Starting from the longer end, roll the dough tightly into a log.

Cut the log into 8 equal pieces.

Prepare for Baking:

Place the rolls in a greased 9-inch round cake pan, leaving some space between each for expansion.

In another small bowl, mix together the melted butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon.

Drizzle or pour this mixture over the cinnamon rolls.

Bake:

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and the filling is bubbly.

Serve:

Serve the cinnamon rolls warm. For an extra touch of sweetness, drizzle them with icing or sprinkle with powdered sugar if desired.
