Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 package Kings Hawaiian Sweet Rolls
- 8 oz cream cheese
- 1 large egg
- ½ cup granulated sugar
Supporting Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons milk
Topping/Glaze Ingredients:
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- Fruit jam or preserves
- Fresh berries
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 350F. Spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or line with parchment paper.
- Keep the Hawaiian sweet rolls connected. Gently slice a shallow pocket into the top of each roll, stopping before cutting completely through.
- Combine 8 ounces cream cheese, ½ cup sugar, 1 large egg, and 1 teaspoon vanilla in a bowl. Mix until your filling becomes completely smooth and creamy.
- Transfer the cream cheese mixture into each roll’s pocket using a spoon or piping bag. Add a small teaspoon of fruit jam or a few fresh berries on top of your filling if desired.
- Whisk 2 tablespoons milk with the remaining egg to create a golden wash. Carefully brush this mixture over the rolls’ surfaces and edges.
- Slide the baking dish into the preheated 350F oven. Bake for 18-22 minutes until the rolls turn golden and the filling sets firmly.
- Prepare the glaze by stirring ½ cup powdered sugar with 2 tablespoons milk until silky. Drizzle the glaze over your warm rolls just before serving.
Notes
- Let the cream cheese soften at room temperature for 30 minutes to ensure a smooth, lump-free filling that spreads easily.
- Create deeper wells in the rolls carefully using the back of a small spoon or your clean fingertip to hold more delicious filling.
- For a lighter version, swap full-fat cream cheese with low-fat or Neufchâtel cheese and use a sugar substitute like stevia.
- Add extra flavor by mixing a pinch of lemon zest or cinnamon into your cream cheese filling for a subtle, interesting twist.
