### Instructions
1. **Preheat the oven** to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet or dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
2. **Prepare the rolls**: Without separating the rolls, slice the entire loaf horizontally to create a top and bottom layer—like you would a sandwich. Place the bottom half in your baking dish.
3. **Mix the cheesecake filling**: In a bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla, and egg yolk (if using) until smooth and creamy.
4. **Assemble**: Spread the cheesecake mixture evenly over the bottom half of the rolls. Add a swirl of fruit preserves or pie filling on top for a fruity twist (optional). Place the top half of the rolls back on.
5. **Bake** for 15–20 minutes, or until the top is golden and the filling is slightly set.
6. **Finish**: Let it cool slightly, then dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with a simple glaze made of powdered sugar and milk.
7. **Serve & Enjoy**: Slice into individual rolls and serve warm or chilled.
