Delight in these homemade Blackberry Sweet Rolls featuring a soft, fluffy dough filled with a luscious blackberry compote and topped with a smooth cream cheese glaze. This recipe combines the tartness of fresh blackberries with the sweetness of cinnamon and sugar to create a perfect treat for breakfast or dessert.

Ingredients

Dough

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) active dry yeast
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 large egg

Blackberry Filling

  • 2 cups fresh or frozen blackberries
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

Cream Cheese Glaze

  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1-2 tbsp milk (optional for thinning)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, combine 2 cups of flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. Warm the milk, melted butter, and water to about 110°F, then add the warm liquid and egg to the flour mixture. Mix until combined, gradually incorporating the remaining flour until the dough is smooth and elastic. Cover and let the dough rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  2. Make the Blackberry Filling: In a medium saucepan, combine blackberries, sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, and cornstarch. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens and the blackberries break down, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  3. Roll Out the Dough: Once risen, punch down the dough and transfer it to a floured surface. Roll into a 12×18-inch rectangle.
  4. Assemble the Rolls: Spread the blackberry filling evenly over the rolled-out dough. Roll tightly from the long side and slice into 12 equal pieces.
  5. Bake the Rolls: Place rolls in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Cover and let rise for an additional 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
  6. Make the Cream Cheese Glaze: In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, softened butter, and powdered sugar until smooth. Add vanilla extract and enough milk to achieve your desired consistency.
  7. Glaze the Rolls: After the rolls have cooled slightly, spread the cream cheese glaze over the top.
  8. Serve and Enjoy: These blackberry sweet rolls are ready to delight your taste buds — perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a special treat!

Notes

  • Ensure liquids are warm, not hot, to properly activate the yeast.
  • Frozen blackberries can be used but thaw and drain excess liquid before cooking.
  • The cream cheese glaze can be made a day ahead and refrigerated.
  • Store leftover rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
  • Reheat gently before serving for best taste.
