Ingredients
- 1 package Kings Hawaiian rolls (12 rolls)
- 8 oz (226 g) cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup (120 ml) fruit preserves (strawberry, raspberry, or your favorite flavor)
- ⅓ cup (67 g) granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup (60 g) powdered sugar
- 2–3 tsps milk
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preparation: Arrange Kings Hawaiian rolls as an unbroken block in a baking dish, maintaining their connected structure.
- Rolling Technique: Create gentle indentations at the center of each roll using a small spoon, ensuring the base remains intact.
- Cream Cheese Blend: Whisk room-temperature cream cheese with vanilla extract and powdered sugar until smooth and homogeneous.
- Filling Distribution: Carefully spoon the cream cheese mixture into the prepared wells of each roll, ensuring even coverage without overflowing.
- Seasoning Layer: Generously sprinkle cinnamon across the filled rolls, creating an aromatic and visually appealing topping.
- Moisture Enhancement: Drizzle melted butter over the entire roll ensemble to promote golden browning and rich flavor.
- Baking Process: Position the dish on the center oven rack at 350°F, baking for 15-20 minutes until rolls achieve a golden-brown color and filling sets slightly.
- Finishing Touch: Remove from oven, allow brief cooling for filling stabilization, and optionally dust with additional powdered sugar before serving.
Notes
Prevent Roll Separation: Keep rolls connected during preparation to maintain structural integrity and ensure even baking.
Cream Cheese Temperature Matters: Allow cream cheese to reach room temperature for smooth, lump-free mixing and easier spreading into roll wells.
Gentle Indentation Technique: Create shallow centers carefully without piercing roll base to prevent filling leakage and maintain structural stability.
Butter Distribution Strategy: Drizzle melted butter evenly across rolls to guarantee uniform golden-brown coloring and enhanced flavor penetration.
