Ingredients
Units
Scale
- :
- For the Danish:
- 1 package (12 rolls) King’s Hawaiian Original Sweet Rolls
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg yolk
- 2 tablespoons sour cream
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- For the Glaze:
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- :
- Prepare the Danish Base: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish. Arrange the King’s Hawaiian rolls in the dish, keeping them close together in a single layer.
- Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a medium mixing bowl, beat together the cream cheese, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, egg yolk, sour cream, and flour until smooth and creamy.
- Assemble the Danish: Use a spoon to evenly spread the cheesecake filling over the top of each roll. Spread it gently to cover the center of each roll while keeping the edges intact.
- Bake the Danish: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the rolls are golden and the cheesecake filling is set.
- Make the Glaze: While the Danish is baking, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth and the glaze has a drizzly consistency.
- Finish the Danish: Once the Danish is done baking, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Drizzle the glaze over the top of the warm Danish, allowing it to soak in and add sweetness.
- Serve: Slice and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
Notes
- :
- You can add fresh fruit on top, like berries or sliced strawberries, for added freshness and color.
- If you prefer a stronger flavor, try adding a teaspoon of lemon zest or almond extract to the cheesecake filling.
- Leftovers can be stored in the fridge and reheated for a delicious treat the next day!
