Nutrition per serving

• Step 1/5

  
  • 25 g sour cherries
  • 40 ml milk
  • 1⅛ g active dry yeast
  • ⅓ tbsp sugar
  • ⅛ tsp salt
  • ½ tbsp butter (soft)
  • ⅛ egg
  • butter for greasing
  • baking dish
  • large bowl
  • small saucepan
  • cutting board
  • knife

  Grease baking dish. For the filling, wash the fresh cherries, then pit and quarter. If you use cherries from a glass, drain them well and quarter. Set aside. Heat milk over low heat until lukewarm. In a large bowl, mix warm milk with dry yeast and sugar and leave to stand for approx. 5 min. Add salt, some of the butter, and egg and mix until combined.

• Step 2/5

  
  • 62½ g flour
  • butter for greasing
  • kitchen towel
  • large bowl

  Add flour to the mixture and mix until well combined. Knead dough for approx. 5 – 6 min. until smooth and firm, adding a bit more flour if necessary to prevent sticking. The dough should be soft, but not too sticky; add more flour if needed. Place in a lightly greased bowl, cover with kitchen towel, and leave to rise in a warm place for approx. 1 hour.

• Step 3/5

  
  • 25 g white chocolate
  • 16⅔ g cream cheese
  • small saucepan
  • rubber spatula
  • heatproof bowl

  In the meantime, stir white chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a small saucepan with boiling water until melted, or use a microwave. Set aside for approx. 10 min. until slightly cooled, then mix in some of the cream cheese and stir until combined.

• Step 4/5

  
  • butter for greasing
  • flour for dusting
  • oven
  • rubber spatula
  • knife
  • rolling pin

  Roll out the dough on a floured surface to a rectangle of approx. 30 x 45 cm/12 x 18 in. Spread white chocolate and cream cheese mixture onto the dough, leaving a small border all around, and distribute cherries evenly on top. Then, starting at the long end, roll up the dough and cut log into 12 equally sized pieces with a sharp knife. Place the rolls in a greased baking dish, cover, and leave to rise for approx. 30 - 45 min. Preheat oven to 175°C/350°F.

• Step 5/5

  
  • ⅓ tbsp butter
  • 16⅔ g cream cheese (divided)
  • ⅛ tsp vanilla extract
  • 33⅓ g confectioner’s sugar
  • heavy cream
  • whisk
  • small mixing bowl

  Bake rolls in the oven at 175°C/350°F for approx. 20 – 25 min., or until golden. Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly. Meanwhile, make the glaze. Melt butter and combine with cream cheese, vanilla extract, and confectioner’s sugar in a mixing bowl. Stir until completely dissolved. If mixture is too thick, add some cream for desired consistency. Pour glaze over cherry rolls and serve. Enjoy!
