- 2 tablespoons cinnamon sugar (1 1/2 tablespoons sugar mixed with 1/2 tablespoon cinnamon)
- Powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lightly greasing it or lining it with parchment paper.
- Carefully slice each King’s Hawaiian Sweet Roll in half, ensuring not to cut all the way through, to create a pocket for the filling.

- Spoon or pipe the cream cheese mixture into the pocket of each sweet roll, ensuring even distribution.
- Place the filled rolls onto the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are spaced apart.
- Brush the tops of the rolls with the melted butter, then sprinkle them evenly with the cinnamon sugar mixture for a delightful flavor.
- Bake the danishes in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until they turn golden brown and the filling is set.
- Once baked, allow the danishes to cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring them to a serving platter.
- Before serving, dust the danishes with powdered sugar to add a touch of sweetness and visual appeal.
- Indulge in these warm King’s Hawaiian Cheesecake Danishes, savoring the delightful combination of soft, fluffy brioche rolls and creamy cheesecake filling.
Notes
- Serve Warm: These King’s Hawaiian Cheesecake Danishes are best enjoyed warm, straight from the oven. The gooey, melted cream cheese filling paired with the soft, golden-brown rolls is a delightful combination that is sure to please your taste buds.
- Garnish with Powdered Sugar: Before serving, dust the danishes with powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness and a beautiful presentation. This adds a hint of elegance to your dish and enhances its visual appeal.
- Pair with Coffee or Tea: These danishes make for a perfect accompaniment to your morning coffee or afternoon tea. The creamy cheesecake filling and the subtle sweetness of the rolls complement the rich flavors of your favorite hot beverage.
- Store Properly: If you have any leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They will keep well for a few days, although they are best enjoyed fresh. To reheat, simply warm them in the microwave or oven until heated through.
- Freeze for Later: These danishes can also be frozen for longer-term storage. Wrap them individually in plastic wrap or aluminum foil, then place them in a freezer-safe bag or container. They can be reheated from frozen in the oven or microwave whenever you crave a delicious treat.
- Customize with Toppings: Get creative with your toppings by adding sliced fruits, such as strawberries or raspberries, for a refreshing twist. You can also drizzle them with chocolate syrup or caramel sauce for an indulgent touch.
