Raspberry swirl sweet rolls are soft, fluffy pastries filled with a sweet-tart raspberry filling and topped with a light glaze or cream cheese frosting. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or an indulgent snack, these eye-catching rolls offer a fruity twist on classic cinnamon rolls.

Ingredients

  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast (1 packet)
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup whole milk, lukewarm
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 cups fresh or frozen raspberries
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar (for filling)
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice (optional)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
  • 2 tbsp cream cheese (optional, for frosting)
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Warm the milk until lukewarm and combine with yeast and 1 tbsp sugar. Let sit for 5–10 minutes until frothy.
  2. In a large bowl, mix flour, remaining sugar, and salt.
  3. Add yeast mixture, eggs, and melted butter to the dry ingredients and mix to form a dough.
  4. Knead the dough for 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  5. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  6. While the dough rises, prepare the raspberry filling: in a saucepan, cook raspberries, sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice over medium heat until thickened. Let cool completely.
  7. Roll out the risen dough into a large rectangle on a floured surface.
  8. Spread the cooled raspberry filling evenly over the dough.
  9. Tightly roll the dough into a log, then slice into 12 equal rolls.
  10. Place the rolls into a greased baking dish, cover, and let rise again for 30–45 minutes.
  11. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  12. Bake rolls for 25–30 minutes, or until golden brown on top.
  13. Let rolls cool slightly, then drizzle with glaze made from powdered sugar, vanilla, and a little milk, or top with cream cheese frosting if desired.

Notes

Ensure the raspberry filling is completely cool before spreading to prevent soggy dough.For a brighter flavor, add lemon zest to the filling.Refrigerate dough overnight to bake fresh in the morning.Use parchment paper in the baking dish for easier cleanup.
