- 1 tsp active dry yeast
- 3/4 cup whole milk

Instructions
- Prepare the Cherry Filling: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine frozen cherries, sugar, water, and cornstarch. Stir until thickened (about 5-7 minutes).
- Make the Dough: Mix warm water and yeast in a small bowl; let it sit until bubbly. In a large bowl, combine yeast mixture with milk, sugar, eggs, flour, and salt. Knead until smooth.
- Let It Rise: Place dough in a greased bowl and cover. Let rise in a warm place until doubled (about 1 hour).
- Roll It Out: Punch down the dough; roll it into a rectangle on a floured surface. Spread cherry filling evenly.
- Form the Rolls: Roll up tightly and cut into equal pieces (approximately 12). Place cut-side up in greased pans; let rise briefly.
- Bake: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
- Frosting: Mix softened butter, cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and enough milk for desired consistency. Drizzle over warm rolls.
