Ingredients

(Tip: You can find the complete list of ingredients and their measurements in the recipe card below.)

All-purpose flour – Provides structure for soft, fluffy rolls.

Yeast – Helps the dough rise into light, pillowy spirals.

Warm milk – Adds richness and activates the yeast.

Sugar – Sweetens the dough and the cinnamon filling.

Butter – Makes the rolls tender and adds buttery flavor throughout.

Eggs – Help create a soft, enriched dough.

Cream cheese – The base of the cheesecake layer that melts into the spirals.

Powdered sugar – Sweetens the cheesecake filling and the glaze.

Cinnamon – Provides classic warmth and flavor.

Fresh or canned peaches – Bring juicy sweetness and fruity aroma.

Vanilla extract – Enhances both the filling and glaze.

Salt – Balances sweetness and improves dough structure.

Directions

Start by preparing the dough. Warm milk until just lukewarm and mix with yeast and a spoonful of sugar. Let it sit until foamy. Whisk in melted butter, eggs, remaining sugar, and salt. Add flour gradually, mixing until a soft dough forms. Knead until smooth, then cover and let rise for about an hour or until doubled in size.

Meanwhile, prepare the cheesecake filling by beating softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla until smooth. In another bowl, toss diced peaches with a small amount of sugar and cinnamon.

Once the dough has risen, roll it out into a large rectangle. Spread the cheesecake filling evenly across the surface. Sprinkle cinnamon sugar over the top and follow with the peach mixture. Roll the dough tightly from the long edge to form a log. Slice into rolls and place them in a greased baking dish. Let rise again for 20–30 minutes.

Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 22–28 minutes or until golden and cooked through. Prepare a glaze with powdered sugar, vanilla, and a splash of milk. Drizzle over the warm rolls. Serve warm and enjoy the gooey, peach-filled goodness.
