Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine yeast and warm water. Let sit for 10 minutes until foamy.

- Beat softened cream cheese until fluffy. Add sugar and eggs, mix until smooth.

- Roll dough into a log and cut into 24 equal pieces.
- Place rolls into 2 greased 9×13 pans. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
- In the morning, let rolls sit at room temperature. Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes until golden. Brush with 2 tbsp melted butter and return to oven for 1 minute.
- Whisk glaze ingredients until smooth. Drizzle over slightly cooled rolls and garnish with sliced almonds.
Notes
- Don’t overfill the rolls to prevent leaking during baking.
- Freeze assembled but unbaked rolls to enjoy later.
- Let rolls cool slightly before glazing to keep icing from melting off.
