Ingredients
Scale
King’s Hawaiian Cheesecake Danish:
- 1 package (12 rolls) King’s Hawaiian original sweet rolls
- 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1/2 cup cherry pie filling or your preferred fruit topping
- 1 tablespoon milk (for egg wash)
- 1 large egg (for egg wash)
- powdered sugar for dusting (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Slice the rolls: Carefully slice the entire block of King’s Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally, keeping the rolls intact.
- Prepare the cream cheese mixture: In a medium bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and egg yolk until smooth and creamy.
- Fill the rolls: Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the bottom half of the rolls. Spoon small amounts of fruit filling across the cream cheese layer. Place the top half of the rolls back on.
- Brush with egg wash: In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and milk to create an egg wash, then brush it over the tops of the rolls.
- Bake: Bake for 18–22 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and the filling is set.
- Cool and serve: Let cool for 10–15 minutes before slicing. Dust with powdered sugar before serving if desired.
Notes
- You can use other fruit toppings like blueberry, raspberry, or apple.
- For a richer flavor, add a splash of lemon juice or zest to the cream cheese mixture.
- Best served warm or at room temperature.
