Prep Time: 1 hour 30 minutes
Cook Time: 24 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour 54 minutes
Servings: 12 rolls

Ingredients

  • 24 ounces of prepared and chilled Brioche dough recipe link in Notes
  • 4 ounces cream cheese softened
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 8 ounces fresh raspberries

Glaze:

  • 3 cups powdered sugar
  • 2-3 Tablespoons milk as needed for thick consistency
  • the zest of one lemon
  • 1 egg plus 1 Tablespoon of water for egg wash

Instructions

  • Prepare muffin tins by spraying with non stick spray.
  • In a medium bowl, cream together the cream cheese and powdered sugar with a handheld electric mixer. Set aside.
  • In a food processor or blender, puree the raspberries and set aside.
  • On a floured work surface, roll out prepared and chilled Brioche dough into a 10x18 inch rectangle.
  • Spread the cream cheese mixture on the dough, leaving a 1 inch border along the top of the 18" side. 
  • Spread the pureed raspberries on top of the cream cheese mixture, reserving 1/4 of the mixture.
  • Starting at the bottom, roll up the dough, tugging as you go to create a tight roll. Ending at the top where you left a clean border, pull the edge over the roll and pinch the seam shut, creating a seal.
  • Using floss or baker's twine, cut 12 equal size rolls, about 2 inches in size. Place the rolls in the muffin tin. Spoon remaining raspberry puree on top of each roll.
  • Allow to rise in a warm area until doubled in size.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to make an egg wash. Brush on top of each roll, coating all of the exposed dough. 
  • Bake for 20-24 minutes, until golden brown.
  • Allow to cool in the muffin tin for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire cooling rack. 
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and milk. Add just enough milk to get a thick consistency, similar to Elmer's glue. You want a smooth, but thick texture. You may need to add more powdered sugar or milk, depending on the consistency. Once you have the desired consistency, add the lemon zest and stir in.
  • Using a spoon or ladle, get a good stream running, drizzle in a back and forth motion over the rolls. Apply as much glaze as desired. Allow the glaze to set and harden for about 15-20 minutes. *A set glaze will give a more pronounced lemon flavor and will not soak into the dough.
  • Enjoy!
  • Store any leftovers uncovered, for up to 2 days.

Notes

  • Use my Brioche recipe for great results!
  • Storing the rolls uncovered will keep the rolls nice and flaky. 
  • If using frozen raspberries, allow them to defrost before putting in the food processor.
