Can Sweet Roll Dough Be Made Ahead

This is a yeast sweet roll dough that takes time to make. It can take about 4 hours of prep time, which means that sometimes, this is best made ahead of time. If you want to make this to serve for brunch, the sweet roll dough should be started the day before. After the sweet roll dough is ready, it can be wrapped well and stored in the refrigerator overnight. The next day, let it come back to room temperature and then it can be baked and finished in time for brunch.

How to Store Raspberry Sweet Rolls with Cream Cheese Filling

When making these raspberry sweet rolls with easy cream cheese frosting, you might find that you have leftovers. If that is the case, you will want to make sure to store the sweet rolls properly in order for it not to spoil. Because of the easy cream cheese filling and frosting, this raspberry sweet roll recipe needs to be stored in the refrigerator. While baked goods can often be left on the counter at room temperature, in this case, whenever there is a cream cheese filling or frosting, it must be stored in the refrigerator. Make sure it is wrapped well to prevent exposure to the moisture and air, which will dry out and spoil the sweet rolls sooner.

How to Make an Easy Cream Cheese Frosting

This cream cheese frosting is one of the easiest cream cheese frosting recipes to make. With only 4 ingredients, cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar and vanilla, this frosting comes together in no time. Using a mixer, this cream cheese frosting whips together and is light and airy. Much better than a heavy frosting, this cream cheese frosting covers the raspberry sweet rolls with sweet cream cheese goodness.

Can Raspberry Rolls be Frozen

If you find that you will not finish the raspberry rolls in time, you can freeze them for another day. I like to freeze each roll separately so that it is easy to defrost one at a time instead of the whole batch. Freeze the raspberry rolls on a plate or baking sheet first. This freezes the cream cheese frosting before it touches the plastic wrap or freezer bag. This prevents the frosting from coming off on the wrapping. Once the rolls are frozen, move the rolls to plastic wrap or freezer bags. When you are ready to thaw a raspberry roll, remove the wrapping first and then thaw it.
