How to Make King’s Hawaiian Cheesecake Danish

Ingredients:

1 tablespoon butter, melted
12-pack KING’S HAWAIIAN® original sweet rolls
1/3 cup butter, melted
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1/2 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
8 ounces cream cheese
1 large egg, beaten
3 tablespoons granulated sugar

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 375°F. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter and spread it evenly in a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Place the rolls over the butter and cut an X into the rolls about 2/3 down but not completely through the bottom.
Stir together the 1/3 cup butter, brown sugar, nutmeg, and cinnamon, then pour this luscious mixture over the rolls.
Next, stir the cream cheese until smooth. Add the sugar and beaten egg until fully incorporated.
Now, fill the rolls with this wonderful cream cheese mixture! You can use a piping bag or a spoon to get it just right.
Bake in the preheated oven at 375°F for 12 to 15 minutes, until they are golden brown and fragrant.
Allow the rolls to cool for a couple of minutes before serving. You can store any leftovers in an airtight container for a delightful treat later on!

How to Serve King’s Hawaiian Cheesecake Danish

It makes for a perfect centerpiece for any breakfast or brunch spread!

Feel free to add fresh fruit on the side for a touch of color and freshness. Sliced strawberries or a mix of berries would bring a delightful contrast to the sweet rolls. And if you’re feeling a bit adventurous, a sprinkle of powdered sugar on top can add that extra touch of elegance.

If you don’t have a piping bag, a zip-top bag with the corner snipped off will work wonderfully for filling the rolls.
Experiment with flavors! Add some vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture for an extra layer of flavor.
Keep an eye on your rolls while they bake; every oven is a little different.
