Note

These rolls can be frozen after slicing for later use. Bake directly from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time if necessary.

Watch closely while baking to prevent burning, as oven temperatures vary and the sugar coating can burn quickly.

Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened before mixing to achieve a smooth filling without lumps.
