Indulge in the delightful flavors of King’s Hawaiian Cheesecake Danishes, a perfect treat to brighten your holiday breakfast or dessert table! These soft and fluffy rolls are filled with a creamy cheesecake mixture and topped with a hint of cinnamon sugar for a truly decadent experience.

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:

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Prepare Rolls: Carefully slice each King’s Hawaiian Sweet Roll in half, but not all the way through, creating a pocket.
  3. 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.
  4. Fill Rolls: Spoon or pipe the cream cheese mixture into the pocket of each sweet roll.
  5. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the filled rolls on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not touching.
  6. Add Topping: Brush the tops of the rolls with melted butter, then sprinkle evenly with the cinnamon sugar mixture.
  7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and the filling is set.
  8. 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.

Enjoy these King’s Hawaiian Cheesecake Danishes warm, as a decadent breakfast treat or a sweet dessert that combines the soft, fluffy texture of brioche rolls with the creamy richness of cheesecake!
