Instructions
- Place the cream cheese and two cups of the mozzarella cheese in a microwave-safe mixing bowl.
- Place mixture in the microwave* for 60 seconds.
- Remove the mixing bowl and stir the cheeses, then return the bowl to the microwave for an additional 30 to 45 seconds.

- Stir the mixture together.
- Add the remaining mozzarella cheese and return the mixing bowl to microwave* for 30 to 45 seconds.
- Then remove the bowl remove and stir again.
- Remove the dough from the mixing bowl and wrap the dough in plastic wrap.
- Place the plastic wrapped dough in the refrigerator for 40 minutes to allow it to firm up.
- When the time is up, remove the dough from the refrigerator, and set it on the counter.
- In a small mixing bowl combine the ingredients for the filling and stir them together.
- Place the dough on one half of a large sheet of parchment paper.
- Fold the parchment paper in half on top of the dough so that you can flatten it out with a rolling pin without it sticking to everything.
- After you have rolled the dough into a large square sheet, brush or spread the cinnamon mixture across the entire surface of the dough.
- Choose one end of the dough and roll it over on itself until you reach the other end.
- Cut the dough into nine equal pieces and place them into a square baking dish lined with parchment paper to prevent the cinnamon rolls from sticking to the pan.
- Bake the cinnamon rolls in a preheated oven at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 25 to 30 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top.
- To make the frosting, combine the frosting ingredients in a large mixing bowl and stir them together until they are well combined. You can use a mixture for this if you prefer to.
- Once the cinnamon rolls are done, remove them from the oven.
- Remove the cinnamon rolls from the pan and place them on a cooling rack.
- Allow them to cool for 10 minutes, then spread the icing on them.
- Serve them warm. You can reheat them to soften them if necessary.
Notes
*For those who prefer not to microwave their food, simply put the cheeses into a skillet and melt them on the stovetop over medium heat making sure to stir them while they are melting so the cheese do not burn.
