Description
A delightful dessert combining the sweetness of King’s Hawaiian rolls with a creamy cheesecake filling and a hint of fruit preserves.
Ingredients
- 1 package (12 count) King’s Hawaiian Original Hawaiian Sweet Rolls
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
- ½ cup strawberry or raspberry preserves
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1–2 tbsp milk
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Place the King’s Hawaiian rolls in the baking dish. Using a small knife, cut a shallow rectangle or circle into the top of each roll, being careful not to cut all the way through.
- Beat the softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add the egg, vanilla, and flour. Beat until creamy and well combined.
- Gently press down the center of each roll to create a small well. Spoon the cheesecake mixture into each roll.
- Add about 1 teaspoon of preserves on top of each cheesecake-filled roll. Swirl lightly with a toothpick or small spoon.
- Brush the tops of the rolls with melted butter. Mix the sugar and cinnamon together, then sprinkle evenly over the rolls.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the cheesecake filling is set and the tops are lightly golden.
- Whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth. Add a little more milk if needed to reach a drizzling consistency.
- Let the Danish cool for about 10 minutes, then drizzle generously with the glaze.
- Serve warm or chilled. Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
Notes
- For an extra indulgent version, use strawberry preserves and add a few finely diced fresh strawberries over the cheesecake filling before baking.
