Enjoy a delightful brunch treat with King's Hawaiian Cheesecake Danish, featuring soft and sweet King's Hawaiian Rolls filled with a creamy cheesecake mixture and topped with a luscious vanilla glaze. This recipe combines the rich texture of cream cheese with the sweetness of a powdered sugar glaze for a perfect balance of flavors.

Ingredients

For the Danish

  • 12 pieces King’s Hawaiian Rolls
  • 8 ounces Cream Cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup Sugar
  • 2 large Eggs
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

For the Glaze

  • 1 cup Powdered Sugar
  • 1/4 cup Heavy Cream
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a greased baking dish to hold the filled rolls.
  2. Prepare Filling: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Gradually add in the sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract; mix until well combined and smooth.
  3. Assemble Danish: Slice each King’s Hawaiian Roll in half horizontally. Spoon an ample amount of the cheesecake filling into the center of each roll, then place them cut-side up in the prepared baking dish.
  4. Bake: Bake the filled rolls in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the cheesecake filling sets and the rolls turn golden brown.
  5. Make Glaze: While the Danish bakes, whisk together powdered sugar, heavy cream, and vanilla extract in a bowl until smooth and pourable.
  6. Glaze and Serve: Once baked, drizzle the warm Danish with the vanilla glaze evenly. Allow the glaze to set slightly before serving for best flavor and presentation.

Notes

  • Use room temperature cream cheese for a smoother filling without lumps.
  • You can substitute heavy cream with whole milk for a lighter glaze if preferred.
  • Ensure rolls are placed cut-side up to prevent the filling from spilling during baking.
  • For added texture, sprinkle chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts over the glaze before it sets.
  • Serve warm for a fresh, bakery-style experience.
