Ingredients

DOUGH:

4 ½ cups all-purpose flour
⅓ cup granulated sugar
2 envelopes Fleischmann's® RapidRise™ Yeast
1 teaspoon salt
¾ cup milk
½ cup water
⅓ cup butter
2 large eggs

RASPBERRY CINNAMON FILLING:

24 ounces frozen raspberries, NOT THAWED
½ cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons cornstarch
2 Tablespoon Spice Islands® Ground Saigon Cinnamon

CREAM CHEESE FROSTING:

½ cup salted butter, softened 1 stick
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
4 cups powdered sugar
2 teaspoon Spice Islands® Pure Vanilla Extract

Instructions

MAKE THE DOUGH:

Combine 1 1/2 cups flour, granulated sugar, undissolved yeast and salt in a large mixing bowl.
Microwave milk, water, and 1/3 cup butter in a microwave safe bowl for 2 minutes or until warm; butter does not need to melt.
Add butter mixture to flour mixture. Beat for 2 minutes on medium speed.
Add eggs and 1/2 cup flour. Beat for 2 minutes on high speed.
Stir in remaining 2 1/2 cups flour until batter forms.
Cover dough tightly with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 2 hours or up to 2 days.

AFTER DOUGH HAS BEEN REFRIGERATED, MAKE RASPBERRY CINNAMON FILLING:

Line a 13 x 9 inch baking pan with parchment paper. Set aside.
Remove dough from refrigerator and punch down dough. Place dough onto a lightly greased surface; divide in half. Roll dough into a 16 x 10 inch rectangle.
Sprinkle evenly with ground cinnamon, then top with frozen raspberries.
Roll dough up tightly. Using a sharp knife, cut roll into 13 equal pieces. Place cinnamon rolls into prepared pan. Cover and let rise for 30 minutes in a warm place until cinnamon rolls double in size.

MAKE CREAM CHEESE FROSTING:

Using an electric mixer, beat together the butter and the cream cheese.
Slowly mix in the powdered sugar and vanilla, then beat for 2 minutes until smooth and creamy. Set aside.

BAKE CINNAMON ROLLS:

Pre-heat oven to 374F degrees.
Bake cinnamon rolls for 15 minutes.
Remove cinnamon rolls from pan and place onto wire rack. Frost tops of each cinnamon roll & enjoy!

Notes

I like to preheat the oven to 300F degrees, turn the oven off. Then I place the covered cinnamon rolls into the oven for 30 minutes to rise and double in size.
