Ingredients
- 1 package (12-count) Kings Hawaiian Sweet Rolls
- 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
- ⅓ cup (65 g) granulated sugar
- ½ cup (60 g) powdered sugar
- 12 tbsps milk or cream
- 2 tbsps unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp lemon zest (optional)
- 2 tbsps granulated sugar
- ¼ tsp cinnamon
- ¼ tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheating: Set oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare baking dish with parchment paper or light grease.
- Roll Preparation: Delicately separate King’s Hawaiian rolls, maintaining their soft structure and creating gentle pockets by slicing horizontally.
- Cheesecake Filling: Whip cream cheese and sugar until smooth, then blend in vanilla extract and egg, ensuring a silky, homogeneous mixture.
- Filling Assembly: Distribute cheesecake mixture evenly into roll centers, optionally layering with fresh berries or fruit preserves for enhanced flavor profile.
- Baking Process: Arrange danishes in prepared baking dish with slight spacing, then transfer to preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes until edges turn golden and filling sets.
- Finishing Touch: Remove from oven, allow brief cooling for filling stabilization, then elegantly dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with light glaze before serving warm.
Notes
Preserve Roll Softness: Handle King’s Hawaiian rolls gently to maintain their delicate, pillowy texture during preparation.
Control Filling Consistency: Mix cream cheese slowly and avoid overmixing to prevent a dense, heavy cheesecake filling that could weigh down the light rolls.
Prevent Soggy Base: Create a small pocket in each roll and don’t oversaturate with filling to maintain structural integrity and prevent moisture absorption.
Customize Dietary Options: Swap regular cream cheese with low-fat or dairy-free alternatives, and use gluten-free rolls for individuals with specific dietary restrictions.
