Method
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, and instant yeast. Mix well and create a well in the center.
- In another bowl, whisk together the warm milk and eggs until combined. Pour into the well of the dry mixture.
- Add the softened butter and cinnamon, mixing until a dough forms. Knead on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until it’s smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm spot for about 60 minutes or until doubled in size.
- Meanwhile, prepare the cream filling by mixing the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Once the dough has risen, roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle, approximately 1 cm thick.
- Spread the cream filling evenly over the dough, then roll it tightly from one long edge to the other. Cut into 12 equal pieces.
- Place the rolls on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, cover, and let rise for another 30 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Bake the rolls for 25 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
- While the rolls are baking, prepare the date caramel by blending chopped dates and water in a blender until smooth. Stir in the maple syrup and set aside.
- Once the rolls are done, allow them to cool for a few minutes. Drizzle the warm date caramel over the top before serving.

Notes
For a twist, feel free to substitute the cream cheese with mascarpone or Greek yogurt for a lighter filling.
If you don’t have medjool dates, any sweet dried fruit can be blended into a caramel-like sauce.
These rolls can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days, and they also reheat beautifully in the oven at 180°C (350°F) for a few minutes to regain their freshness.
