Ingredients
- 1 package King’s Hawaiian Sweet Rolls (12 count)
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg yolk
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons cinnamon sugar (1 1/2 tablespoons sugar mixed with 1/2 tablespoon cinnamon)
- Powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
- Carefully slice each King’s Hawaiian Sweet Roll in half, but not all the way through, creating a pocket.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and egg yolk until smooth and well combined.
- Spoon or pipe the cream cheese mixture into the pocket of each sweet roll.
- Place the filled rolls on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not touching.
- Brush the tops of the rolls with melted butter, then sprinkle evenly with the cinnamon sugar mixture.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and the filling is set.
- Allow the danishes to cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring them to a serving platter.
- Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
