🥣How to Make Strawberry Cream Cheese Bubble Up
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a medium bowl. Beat until smooth and creamy.
- Open the can of cinnamon rolls and separate them. Cut each roll into quarters. Set the icing packet aside for now.
- In a large bowl, gently mix together the strawberry pie filling, fresh strawberries, and cinnamon roll pieces until evenly combined. Be careful not to overmix, or your cinnamon roll pieces will start to fall apart.
- Spread half of the strawberry cinnamon roll mixture into the bottom of your prepared baking dish. Then, drop spoonfuls of the cream cheese mixture evenly over the top.
- Finish by spreading the remaining strawberry cinnamon roll mixture over the cream cheese dollops. Pop the dish into the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes or until golden brown and bubbly.
- About 5 minutes before the bake is done, warm the unopened icing package in a bowl of warm water. Once the bubble up bake is out of the oven, stir the icing until smooth and drizzle it all over the top. Let it cool slightly before serving.
🍴Serving Ideas
Now that you’ve baked this delicious Strawberry Cheesecake Bubble-up, it’s time to serve it and impress your friends and family. Let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
I like to serve this with extra strawberries for a pop of color and a burst of natural sweetness! Whipped cream is excellent, too, but it doesn’t really need extra sweetness.
💭How to Store
Once cooled, cover the baking dish tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil. If you prefer, you can also transfer the leftovers to an airtight container.
Place the covered dish or container in the refrigerator. Your bubble up will stay fresh for up to 3 days. When ready to enjoy your leftovers, reheat individual servings in the microwave for 30-45 seconds or until warmed.
⭐Tips
Be sure to check out the step by step instructions
- Make sure to soften your cream cheese to room temperature before mixing.
- While the strawberry and cream cheese combo is a classic, feel free to get creative with your filling! Try substituting the strawberry pie filling with other fruit flavors like blueberry, peach, or apple.
- When combining the strawberry pie filling, fresh strawberries, and cinnamon roll pieces, be gentle and don’t overmix. Overmixing can cause the cinnamon roll pieces to break apart and become mushy, losing their texture.
- Baking times can vary slightly depending on your oven. Start checking around the 35-minute mark. The dish is ready when golden brown and bubbly, with the cinnamon roll pieces cooked through.
- Let your bubble up cool for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the filling to set slightly, making it easier to serve and enjoy.
📝Reader Questions
Absolutely! You can assemble the bubble up a few hours before baking, cover it tightly with plastic wrap, and store it in the refrigerator. When ready to bake, remove the plastic wrap and pop it in the oven. Keep in mind that you may need to add a few extra minutes to the baking time since it will be going into the oven cold.
I wouldn’t recommend freezing this dessert, as the texture of the cinnamon rolls and cream cheese filling may change once thawed. However, leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the microwave or oven before serving.
While you can use low-fat cream cheese, I recommend sticking with full-fat for the best flavor and texture. The fat in the cream cheese helps create a rich, creamy filling that pairs perfectly with the strawberry and cinnamon flavors.
