Ingredients:
- 1 package King’s Hawaiian Sweet Rolls (12 count)
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg yolk
- ¼ cup butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons cinnamon sugar (1 ½ tablespoons sugar mixed with ½ tablespoon cinnamon)
- Powdered sugar for dusting
Directions:
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
- Prepare Rolls: Carefully slice each King’s Hawaiian Sweet Roll in half, but not all the way through, creating a pocket.
- Mix Cream Cheese Filling: In a medium bowl, mix together the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and egg yolk until smooth and well combined.
- Fill Rolls: Spoon or pipe the cream cheese mixture into the pocket of each sweet roll.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the filled rolls on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not touching.
- Add Topping: Brush the tops of the rolls with melted butter, then sprinkle evenly with the cinnamon sugar mixture.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and the filling is set.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the danishes to cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring to a serving platter. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
