- 1 large egg
For the Cheesecake Filling:
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- ¼ cup powdered sugar

- 12 crushed cookies
For the Cinnamon Filling:
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened

- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
For the OREO Cream Cheese Frosting:
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons butter, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar

Method of Preparation
Step 1: Make the Dough
In a bowl, combine warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy. Add melted butter, egg, and salt. Slowly mix in flour until a soft dough forms.
Step 2: Knead the Dough
Knead the dough for about 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place it in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Step 3: Prepare the Fillings
Mix cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla, and crushed OREOs for the cheesecake filling. In another bowl, mix butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon.
Step 4: Roll and Fill
Roll the dough into a rectangle. Spread the cinnamon mixture first, then the cheesecake mixture evenly over the dough. Sprinkle extra crushed OREOs.
Step 5: Shape the Rolls
Roll the dough tightly into a log and cut into 12 equal pieces. Place them in a greased baking dish.
Step 6: Second Rise
Cover and let the rolls rise for another 30–40 minutes until puffy.
Step 7: Bake
Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 25–30 minutes until golden.
Step 8: Make the Frosting
Beat cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, vanilla, and crushed OREOs until creamy.
Step 9: Frost and Serve
Spread the frosting over warm rolls and serve immediately.
Baking Tips & Techniques
- Use room-temperature cream cheese for a smoother filling.
- Don’t overbake; soft rolls stay gooey and tender.
- Crush the OREOs into chunks, not powder, for better texture.
- Frost while warm so it melts slightly into the rolls.
