Step-by-Step Instructions for Blackberry Cinnamon Rolls
  1. Make Blackberry Filling: In a medium saucepan, combine fresh or frozen blackberries with sugar, cornstarch, and a pinch of salt. Cook for 4-5 minutes until thickened, then cool.
  2. Prepare Dough: Mix warm water with active dry yeast and a pinch of sugar; let it foam. In another bowl, combine vanilla pudding mix, warm milk, melted butter, Greek yogurt, egg, and salt. Gradually add yeast mixture and flour to form dough.
  3. First Rise: Transfer dough to a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise until doubled in size, about 2 hours.
  4. Roll Out Dough: Punch down dough, roll into an 18x12-inch rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick.
  5. Spread Fillings: Sprinkle cinnamon sugar over dough, add cooled blackberry filling, and roll tightly into a log.
  6. Slice Rolls: Use dental floss to cut into 12 equal rolls and place them in a greased pan.
  7. Second Rise: Cover and let them rise for an additional hour.
  8. Bake: Preheat oven to 350°F and bake rolls for 25-30 minutes until golden-brown.
  9. Make Frosting: Beat cream cheese and butter until creamy, add corn syrup and powdered sugar until fluffy.
  10. Frost Rolls: Let rolls cool for 5-10 minutes, frost generously, and swirl in remaining blackberry filling.
