Pink Raspberry Sweet Rolls

Sharing is caring!

I hope the color on these amazing rolls doesn’t turn you away. We had a really fun time with the bright pink dough. The kids loved rolling it out and rolling them up and also eating them! The color, though is totally optional. These rolls will be made at our house again for sure, but probably not always pink.

I used my Grandma’s recipe for the dough that she makes her famous Cinnamon Rolls with. So now there are 2 fabulous sweet roll recipes on the site. Have you seen Janelle’s recipe for Cinnamon Rolls? They look amazing. And our recipes are different enough that I know I’m going to be trying her recipe the next time we do cinnamon rolls!

I wanted to do something fun with sweet rolls for Valentine’s Day and I couldn’t decide between something fruity and making the dough pink.

So I did both.

I was a bit nervous, because I’m not the biggest fruity fan. But, this filling is perfect! It’s not too sweet (which is good, because between the bread and the very necessary icing, you’ve got enough sweetness going on) and the raspberries just work so well in the rolls because they naturally break up a bit and distribute so well.

The icing that goes on top is pretty simple except that it has just a smidgen of lemon extract. Which goes great with the raspberry and cuts the sweetness just a bit as well.

All in all, these rolls are pretty amazing. You can tell from the picture. I was trying to get a picture of just a bite out of the roll, but I couldn’t stop and you can tell that there are several bites gone from the roll because I just couldn’t stop!

Give these a try and you will thank me! Promise!
