Instructions
- For the filling, combine blackberries, sugar, cornstarch, salt, and warm water in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook until thickened; let cool.
- Activate the yeast by mixing it with warm water and sugar; let it sit until bubbly.
- In a large bowl, mix warm milk, melted butter, yogurt, egg, salt, and pudding mix. Add the activated yeast mixture.
- Gradually stir in flour until a soft dough forms. Knead on a floured surface for 5-7 minutes until smooth.
- Let the dough rise in an oiled bowl covered with cloth for about 60 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll out dough into a rectangle and spread softened butter on top; sprinkle brown sugar mixed with cinnamon and cooled blackberry filling evenly.
- Roll into a log shape and cut into 12 equal pieces; place in a greased baking dish to rise again for 30 minutes before baking for 25 minutes until golden brown.
- Prepare frosting by beating cream cheese, softened butter, corn syrup, vanilla, salt, powdered sugar, and reserved blackberry filling until smooth.
- Frost rolls while still warm and enjoy!
