I’m absolutely smitten with these Peach Cheesecake Cinnamon Rolls, and you will be too.
There’s something magical about the combination of gooey cinnamon rolls, creamy cheesecake filling, and juicy peaches that makes my taste buds do a little happy dance.
The best part? You can have these beauties ready in under 30 minutes thanks to refrigerated dough. Who says impressive breakfast treats require hours in the kitchen? Trust me, the caramelized brown sugar-cinnamon peaches are worth getting out of bed for.
Why You’ll Love these Peach Cheesecake Cinnamon Rolls
Heavenly comfort in every bite. I’m convinced these peach cheesecake cinnamon rolls are what breakfast dreams are made of. They combine the gooey satisfaction of classic cinnamon rolls with creamy cheesecake filling and juicy peaches—a trifecta of morning indulgence.
They’re ridiculously simple to make, too. Starting with refrigerated dough means you can whip these up in under 30 minutes. Perfect for lazy weekend mornings or when unexpected guests arrive.
The brown sugar-cinnamon peaches caramelize slightly while baking, creating pockets of fruity goodness that balance the rich cream cheese perfectly.
What Ingredients are in Peach Cheesecake Cinnamon Rolls?
These sweet, indulgent breakfast treats come together with surprisingly few ingredients, making them perfect for those mornings when you crave something special without a lot of fuss.
- 1 can refrigerated cinnamon rolls (with icing included)
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
- 1 cup diced peaches
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
For best results, make sure your cream cheese is properly softened—cold cream cheese will be nearly impossible to spread and might tear the delicate dough, while room temperature cream cheese will create that perfect creamy layer we’re looking for.
How to Make these Peach Cheesecake Cinnamon Rolls
Step 1: Preheat Your Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F so it’s nice and hot when your rolls are ready to bake. Nothing worse than having everything prepped with a cold oven waiting to heat up.
Step 2: Prepare the Cinnamon Rolls
Open your can of refrigerated cinnamon rolls and set aside the icing packet for later. Gently unroll each cinnamon roll on a clean surface, being careful not to tear the dough.
Step 3: Mix the Cheesecake Filling
In a small bowl, combine 4 oz of softened cream cheese with 2 tablespoons of sugar and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla.
The mixture should be smooth and easily spreadable—this is why that room-temperature cream cheese is so important.
Step 4: Add the Cheesecake Layer
Using a spatula or the back of a spoon, spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over each unrolled cinnamon roll.
Try to leave a small border around the edges to prevent overflow during baking.
Step 5: Prepare the Peach Filling
Toss 1 cup of diced peaches with 1/4 cup brown sugar and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon until evenly coated.
The sugar will start drawing out the peach juices, creating that lovely syrupy goodness.
Step 6: Add the Peach Layer
Sprinkle the peach mixture evenly over the cream cheese layer on each roll.
Don’t worry if it seems a bit messy—that’s part of the charm.
Step 7: Roll and Slice
Carefully re-roll each cinnamon roll, trying to keep the filling inside.
The rolls might look a bit bulkier than before, which is perfectly normal with all that peachy goodness inside.
Step 8: Bake to Golden Perfection
Place your rolls in a baking dish and bake for 15-18 minutes until they’re golden brown.
For consistently perfect results, consider using a premium brownie set which includes high-quality baking pans ideal for these cinnamon rolls too.
Once they’re out of the oven, drizzle with the reserved icing and add a light sprinkle of cinnamon for that picture-perfect finish.
What to Serve with Peach Cheesecake Cinnamon Rolls
These decadent peachy rolls are perfect for breakfast or brunch, but honestly, who’s stopping you from enjoying them as dessert?
For a complete morning spread, pair them with crispy bacon or breakfast sausage—that sweet-savory combo is unbeatable. A simple fruit salad with berries and mint adds freshness to balance the richness.
Coffee is a must, but not just any coffee—try a vanilla latte or cinnamon coffee to complement those warm spice notes.
For non-coffee drinkers, peach iced tea makes a lovely companion. Want to make it extra special? Serve with a dollop of vanilla yogurt or a scoop of vanilla ice cream if you’re going the dessert route. The contrast of temperatures is absolutely divine.
Peach Cheesecake Cinnamon Rolls Substitutions and Variations
• Fruit Swaps: No peaches? Try nectarines, apricots, or even canned fruit in a pinch.
Frozen peaches work well too—just thaw and drain first.
• Dietary Needs: For gluten-free, use GF cinnamon roll dough.
Swap the cream cheese for dairy-free varieties and use plant butter in the filling for a dairy-free version.
• Flavor Twists: Add chopped pecans or walnuts for crunch.
A tablespoon of bourbon in the peach mixture? Heavenly.
For fall vibes, replace half the peaches with diced apples and add nutmeg.
• Topping Ideas: Sprinkle turbinado sugar before baking for a crunchy top.
After baking, try a maple glaze instead of the standard icing, or dust with powdered sugar and crushed freeze-dried peaches for color.
• Time-Saver: When morning chaos hits, prep these the night before and refrigerate—just add 3-5 minutes to the baking time.
Leftovers and Storage for these Peach Cheesecake Cinnamon Rolls
These sweet treats stay remarkably fresh when stored properly. To keep leftovers at their best:
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerate for up to 5 days. The cream cheese filling means refrigeration is safest after day one.
- For longer storage, freeze individually wrapped rolls for up to 3 months.
- To reheat refrigerated rolls, microwave for 15-20 seconds or warm in a 300°F oven for 5-7 minutes. For frozen rolls, thaw overnight before reheating.
- Prevent sogginess by placing paper towels between layers when storing, and avoid plastic wrap directly touching the tops.
While these rolls are magnificent fresh from the oven, many fans swear the flavor deepens overnight as the peach and cinnamon notes meld together.
