Ingredients
-
1 package (12-count) King’s Hawaiian Original Sweet Rolls
-
8 oz cream cheese, softened
-
1/4 cup granulated sugar
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
1 egg yolk
-
1/4 cup butter, melted
-
2 tablespoons cinnamon sugar (1½ tablespoons sugar mixed with ½ tablespoon cinnamon)
-
Powdered sugar, for dusting
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
-
Carefully slice each King’s Hawaiian Sweet Roll in half horizontally, but not all the way through, creating a pocket.
-
In a medium bowl, mix together the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and egg yolk until smooth and well combined.
-
Spoon or pipe the cream cheese mixture into the pocket of each sweet roll.
-
Place the filled rolls on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not touching.
-
Brush the tops of the rolls with melted butter, then sprinkle evenly with the cinnamon sugar mixture.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and the filling is set.
-
Allow the danishes to cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring to a serving platter.
-
Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
Notes
For a richer flavor, add a pinch of ground nutmeg to the cinnamon sugar mixture.
These danishes can be prepared the night before; simply cover and refrigerate them unbaked, then bake fresh in the morning.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days
