Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Separate the cinnamon-roll dough into eight rectangles and flatten each to ¼-inch thick.
  2. Place a dollop of cream cheese in the center of a piece of dough, add two quarters of fresh strawberries, fold dough over, and roll tightly.
  3. Thread each rolled bundle onto skewers, leaving a gap for even cooking. Aim for 3-4 rolls per skewer.
  4. Arrange skewers on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for about 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
  5. In a mixing bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and sea salt until smooth.
  6. Remove skewers from the oven, drizzle with glaze, and let rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.

Notes

For best results, keep dough cold and seal edges well to avoid leaking filling. Fresh fruit enhances flavor without excess moisture.
