Ingredients

Units Scale

Blackberry Filling

  • 3 1/2 cups blackberries, fresh or frozen
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1/8 teaspoon of salt

Dough

  • 1/4 cup warm water
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast (one 1/4-ounce packet)
  • 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 1 cup milk, warmed in microwave for 30-40 seconds
  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon Greek yogurt
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3–3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

Filling

  • 5 tablespoons salted butter, softened
  • 2/3 cup brown sugar
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon

Frosting

  • 5 ounces cream cheese
  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 tablespoon corn syrup
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup blackberry filling, reserved from the blackberry filling

Instructions

  1. Prepare blackberry filling: In a saucepan, combine blackberries, sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Cook over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until thickened. Set aside to cool.
  2. Activate yeast: In a small bowl, combine warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
  3. Make dough mixture: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together pudding mix, warm milk, melted butter, Greek yogurt, egg, and salt. Add the yeast mixture and combine.
  4. Add flour and knead dough: Gradually add flour, 1 cup at a time, mixing until a soft dough forms. Knead on a floured surface for 5-8 minutes until smooth and elastic. Let rise in a greased bowl, covered with a damp towel, for 1-1.5 hours or until doubled in size.
  5. Prepare cinnamon filling: In a small bowl, mix butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon for the filling. Set aside.
  6. Roll out dough and add fillings: After the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface into a 12×18-inch rectangle. Spread the cinnamon brown sugar filling over the dough, then spoon the blackberry filling on top, leaving a border along the edges. Roll into a tight log and slice into 12 pieces.
  7. Second rise: Place rolls in a greased 9×13-inch pan. Cover and let rise for an additional 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  8. Bake rolls: Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool slightly.
  9. Make frosting: For the frosting, beat together cream cheese, butter, corn syrup, vanilla, and salt until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar and continue mixing. Stir in reserved blackberry filling.
  10. Frost and serve: Spread the frosting generously over the warm rolls and serve.

Notes

  • Reserve some blackberry filling for mixing into the frosting for extra flavor.
  • Make sure the yeast mixture is frothy before adding to the dough for proper rising.
  • Let dough rise until doubled in size to ensure light and fluffy rolls.
  • Allow rolls to cool slightly before frosting to prevent frosting melt-off.
