Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Danish:
    • 1 package (12 count) King’s Hawaiian Sweet Rolls
    • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
    • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 1 large egg yolk
  • For the Topping:
    • 1/4 cup butter, melted
    • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
    • 1/2 tablespoon ground cinnamon
    • 1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg (optional)
  • For Garnish:
    • Powdered sugar, for dusting

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
    • Lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Prepare the Rolls:
    • Without separating the rolls, slice them in half horizontally to create a top and bottom layer.
    • Place the bottom layer in the prepared baking dish.
  3. Make the Cheesecake Filling:
    • In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and egg yolk.
    • Mix until smooth and well combined.
  4. Assemble the Danish:
    • Spread the cheesecake filling evenly over the bottom layer of the rolls.
    • Place the top layer of rolls over the filling, pressing down gently.
  5. Prepare the Topping:
    • In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg (if using).
    • Pour this mixture evenly over the top of the rolls.
  6. Bake:
    • Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and the cheesecake filling is set.
  7. Serve:
    • Allow the danish to cool slightly before dusting with powdered sugar.
    • Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

  • Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened to achieve a smooth filling.
  • For added flavor, consider incorporating a teaspoon of lemon zest into the cheesecake filling.
  • These danishes are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at a low temperature before serving.
