Sweet, creamy cheesecake filling baked inside buttery King's Hawaiian rolls with a vanilla glaze.
Ingredients
Ingredients
- 12 King's Hawaiian rolls
- 8 oz cream cheese softened
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tsp vanilla bean paste divided
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tbsp milk
- Nonstick cooking spray or butter for greasing the pan
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with nonstick spray or butter.
- Carefully split each King's Hawaiian roll in half horizontally and arrange the bottom halves in a single layer in the prepared baking dish.
- In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste until smooth and creamy.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the roll bottoms, all the way to the edges.
- Place the top halves of the rolls back over the filling, aligning them with their bottoms and pressing gently so the filling spreads but does not squeeze out.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and remaining 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste until smooth and pourable.
- Drizzle the glaze evenly over the tops of the rolls, letting it run into the gaps between rolls.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the tops are golden brown and the glaze is bubbling around the edges.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing into 12 pieces and serving warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- Make sure the cream cheese is fully softened so the filling mixes smooth without lumps.
- For easier slicing, use a serrated knife and cut along the seams of the rolls after the danish has cooled slightly.
