How to make these orange rolls
Thaw out the frozen bread dough, or prepare the dough using one of the recipes listed above.
Mix softened cream cheese, orange marmalade, sugar, and cinnamon in a small bowl. You will use this cream cheese mixture for filling and the frosting.
Roll out the dough into a 10 x 12-inch rectangle. Spread the dough with a couple of tablespoons of butter.
Spread ½ of the orange cream cheese mixture onto the dough.
Roll up the dough and cut it into 12 even pieces.
Spray a baking pan with non-stick spray. Place the Orange Cream Cheese Cinnamon Rolls slices into the pan.
Let them raise to at least double in size.
Bake the rolls in a 350-degree oven for 15-20 minutes until golden brown. Cool slightly.
Make the frosting
Take the rest of the orange cream cheese filling, add some powdered sugar, and frost the Orange Cream Cheese Cinnamon Rolls. I like to make the frosting while the dough is rising. Store the frosting in the refrigerator until ready to use.
Don't they look delicious! Yum!
Tips for leftovers
Store leftovers in the refrigerator. They warm up nicely in the microwave. Ours took about 15 seconds at 50% power. Delicious!
