Pull frozen yeast rolls out of the freezer and place them on a baking pan, giving them room to grow.

Cover the rolls with cling wrap that has been lightly sprayed with cooking spray, and let them thaw and rise for 3 to 5 hours in a cool place.

After the rolls have risen, prepare a cream cheese filling by mixing 8 ounces of softened cream cheese, 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon of vanilla, and 3 tablespoons of milk using a hand mixer until creamy.

Lightly coat the risen rolls with melted butter using a pastry brush.

Use the bottom of a measuring cup to press down into each roll, creating a small hole for filling.

Fill the hole with cream cheese mixture and then add pie filling (peach or blueberry) on top.

Continue filling all the rolls with desired fillings.

Preheat the oven to 375°F and bake the rolls for about 20 minutes until golden brown.

Let the rolls rest on the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a towel to cool.

Optionally, pipe a powdered sugar glaze over the cooled kolaches if desired.
