Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cherry Filling: In a saucepan, combine 3.5 cups frozen cherries, 1/3 cup sugar, 1/4 cup cold water, and 2 tablespoons cornstarch. Cook over medium heat until thickened, then let cool.

  5. Bake: Place rolls in a greased dish and let them rise again briefly before baking at 350°F (175°C) for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
  6. Frost & Enjoy: Mix together 4 tablespoons softened butter, 3 ounces cream cheese, 2 cups powdered sugar, and enough milk for desired consistency to create frosting. Drizzle over warm rolls before serving.
