Ingredients
Scale
Cheesecake Filling:
- 8 ounces (226 grams) cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup (100 grams) granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
Base:
- 6 Kings Hawaiian Sweet Rolls
Topping:
- Powdered sugar
Instructions
- Warm the oven to 350F (175C) and apply a light cooking spray to the baking dish to prevent sticking.
- Carefully slice each Kings Hawaiian roll into two even halves, positioning them cut-side facing upward in the prepared dish.
- Create a silky cream cheese filling by whisking together softened cream cheese, sugar, vanilla extract, and eggs until the mixture achieves a smooth, uniform consistency.
- Generously distribute the cream cheese mixture across each roll half, ensuring an even layer that covers the entire surface.
- Transfer the prepared dish to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, watching for a golden-brown color and a set center that indicates complete cooking.
- Remove from the oven and allow the danish to rest and slightly cool for a few minutes.
- Finish by delicately dusting the top with a light coating of powdered sugar, creating an elegant and appetizing presentation before serving.
Notes
- Slice rolls carefully to maintain their soft, pillowy texture for an even base.
- Use room temperature cream cheese to ensure a silky smooth filling without lumps.
- Adjust sugar levels to create a less sweet version or use alternative sweeteners like stevia for diabetic-friendly options.
- Enhance flavor by adding a sprinkle of cinnamon or lemon zest to the cream cheese mixture for a delightful twist.
