Strawberry Sweet Rolls

Who can resist big, ripe strawberries when they are on sale...not me.  And I happened to have leftover cream cheese from my wontons that I could whip up a quick icing too.








Strawberry Sweet Rolls

1 loaf of sweet dough, thawed and allowed to rise in a greased, covered loaf pan
8 strawberries, sliced
2 tbsp butter, softened
1/4 cup dark brown sugar

Icing 

4 oz cream cheese, softened
3 tbsp butter, softened
2 tbsp strawberry juice
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar



Roll out dough on a floured surface into a 10 x 16" rectangle.  Spread softened butter on top of dough, sprinkle with brown sugar and lay
 down slices of strawberries.




Carefully roll up dough.  Cut in half, then cut in thirds and then cut each third in half for 12 equal slices.  Place in a greased 9 x 13 pan and allow to rise.  Bake at 325° for 15 - 20 minutes.  Make sure the bottom is completely cooked since some juice will have dripped down.  Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly before icing.

For icing - mix together cream cheese, butter and strawberry juice until smooth.  Stir in powdered sugar.
