Can you tell I have spring at the top of my mind today? With Easter coming up soon (March 31st), I’m already thinking ahead and creating more and more spring-forward recipes. Everything from salads to seafood, to brunch recipes, and sweet berry-focused desserts! Oh, and carrot cake too! I’m excited to share these recipes soon!

The days leading up to Easter are such a fun time of year! Everyone begins to look forward to spring (March 19th). Lighter recipes and dishes with lots of color are a nice change of pace and fun to create. And these rolls are only the beginning.

It’s been forever since I shared a sweet roll. When I had this idea, I had a very clear picture in my head of exactly how I wanted these rolls to turn out. I was so excited that I made them right away.

These are a cross somewhere between a cinnamon roll, a glazed doughnut, and a sweet pastry. I used my favorite super easy brioche dough and rolled it up with raspberry jam. Then I cut the dough and coiled it into the cutest sweet rolls.

I added a simple cream cheese glaze with sugar on top. They’re so delish and pretty! Totally something that would be perfect for an Easter gathering this year.

These are the details

Step 1: make the dough

The dough is the simplest to make. Mix active dry yeast with warm milk and a small touch of honey. It’s important to let the mix sit for a few minutes to allow the yeast to activate. If the yeast doesn’t look bubbly on top, that means it’s probably old yeast. You should try again with fresh yeast. Sometimes it randomly happens, so just keep an eye out!

Next, add the butter, eggs, flour, and salt. Mix until smooth, and let the dough rest until doubled in size.

Step 2: roll the dough out

Just like you do when making cinnamon rolls, roll the dough out into a super large rectangle. Then spread over some raspberry jam. Or if you don’t love raspberry, try using either strawberry or blueberry!

Sprinkle over a handful of torn raspberries, then cut the dough into very long strips.

Coil each strip up into a roll. See all the photos above for examples! It’s a little messy, but if you use a thicker jam it will make the rolling easier.

Step 3: rise, then bake

Now arrange each roll on a baking sheet. Cover the sheets and let the rolls rise for twenty minutes ahead of baking.

When the rolls are super puffy on top, bake them off until they just begin to turn a light golden shade.

Step 4: make the raspberry sugar

The first step is to blend the dried raspberries into a fine powder. You can do this in a food processor or blender. You’ll use the raspberry powder in both the sugar and the icing.

To create the raspberry sugar, mix the raspberry powder with granulated sugar.

Step 5: the cream cheese glaze

The glaze really makes these rolls delicious.

Mix cream cheese with sweet sugar, raspberry powder, and vanilla. Then thin with hot milk.

Step 6: glaze, sugar, then enjoy

Dip each warm roll into the glaze. Then I like to sprinkle on a bit of the raspberry sugar. The combination of the glaze and the sugar really makes these rolls feel and look so special while also creating the most delicious-tasting roll!

These rolls will melt in your mouth when you eat them warm. YUM!

A great sweet roll to bake for both spring and summer, and especially for upcoming Easter and Mother’s Day. They’re pretty hard not to love!
