Lemon Cheesecake Rolls

April 17, 2020 By Dane McGregor Leave a Comment

If there’s something I’ve learnt recently, it’s that we really love lemons in baking, myself included! I may also be bias, but I’ve already noticed that kiwi’s love their no-bake cheesecakes too. There is something so smooth and morish about them, I wonder if it’s that delicious cream cheese? Recognising these two revelations, I really wanted to combine our love of lemons, cream cheese and bread into one well rounded recipe. Pun intended.

With these thoughts in mind, I really wanted to bring these Lemon Cheesecake Rolls to life. They’re made up of a soft sweet brioche dough, filled with lemon cream cheese and then smothered in plenty more lemon cream cheese frosting when baked! Sounds like heaven to me.

If you thought you couldn’t elevate the experience any further or reference a ‘real’ cheesecake a little more, you can sprinkle crushed biscuit pieces on top or even go a little wild and incorporate those biscuit pieces into the filling. The world’s really your roll. Also, if lemon unfortunately isn’t your thing, mix in any other of your favourite cheesecake flavours to make it yours.

Serves: 9 Rolls
Ingredients
Dough
  • 160ml Warm Milk
  • 5 Tablespoons Caster Sugar
  • 4 Teaspoons Surebake or Baker's Yeast
  • 2 Eggs
  • 460g Plain Flour
  • 1 Teaspoon Salt
  • 115g Butter – Room Temperature
Filling
  • 120g Cream Cheese
  • 40g Butter – Room Temperature
  • 60g Caster Sugar
  • 1 Teaspoon Lemon Juice
  • Zest of one Lemon
Frosting
  • 130g Cream Cheese
  • 60g Butter – Room Temperature
  • 60g Icing Sugar
  • 2 Teaspoon Lemon Juice
  • Zest of one Lemon
  • Superwine Biscuits – Optional
Instructions
  1. In a medium sized jug, add the warm milk and swirl through 1 tablespoon of sugar. Sprinkle yeast over top and give a light whisk. Allow the yeast to flourish and foam, roughly 5 minutes. After, whisk through the eggs until well combined.

  2. While yeast is flourishing, prepare dry ingredients by adding and mixing the flour, salt and remaining 4 tablespoons of sugar together in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook.

  3. Pour in the milk mixture and on a medium speed, begin to mix into flour. Dice butter into cubes and add to mixture one at a time, making sure each cube is well incorporated. When all the butter has been added, turn the kneading speed up to medium-high for 5-6 minutes. The dough should now be nice and soft and easy to handle.

  4. Grease a medium sized bowl with melted butter and place rounded dough into the bowl. Cover with cling wrap and leave to rise in a warm area for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.

  5. When risen, turn dough out onto a floured surface and using a rolling pin, roll dough out into a rectangle about 1cm thick. Beat together filling ingredients and spread evenly over the dough.

  6. Roll dough up tightly starting from the long side before using a sharp knife or floss to cut/slice 9 even segments. Place inside a lined or grease 20-22cm square baking tin, cover and return to a warm place to complete its final rise. Roughly 1 hour or until rolls double in size again.

  7. While dough is rising, preheat the oven to 180°. When the dough is ready, bake for 25-30 minutes until baked through and golden on top. Allow to cool before covering in frosting.

  8. To make the frosting, beat together the frosting ingredients until well combined and fluffy. Spread over top of baked rolls and finish off with a sprinkle of lemon zest and crumbled biscuits pieces (optional). Enjoy.

I’ve become slightly obsessed with making fresh I’ve become slightly obsessed with making fresh fruit slushies and frozen cocktail this summer. It’s been a great way to cool down and also enjoy a warm evening or two with friends. Below is a recipe for an Aperol Spritz Slushie that I’ve really been enjoying recently. Super quick and easy to make, especially since the 3X Bluicer Pro from @brevilleappliancesnz not only crushes the ice and blends everything together, I can also juice fresh oranges and lemons directly into the blending jug. Perfect for summer entertaining, let me know if you try this quick Slushie recipe.
