Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package Kings Hawaiian rolls (12 rolls)
- ½ cup (170 grams) fruit preserves (strawberry, raspberry, or your favorite flavor)
- 8 oz (226 grams) cream cheese, softened
- ⅓ cup (67 grams) granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup (60 grams) powdered sugar
- 2 tsps milk
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare Rolls: Preheat oven to 350F (175C). Arrange Kings Hawaiian rolls in a baking dish, keeping them connected as a single unit.
- Create Cheesecake Base: Blend cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Gently create shallow wells in each roll’s center without compromising the base.
- Fill and Top Rolls: Carefully fill each well with the cheesecake mixture, covering approximately half the depth. Artfully spread fruit preserves over the cheesecake layer to create a vibrant flavor profile.
- Bake Danish: Transfer the baking dish to the preheated oven. Bake for 15-18 minutes until rolls develop golden edges and cheesecake filling sets with a delicate firmness.
- Craft Glaze: While rolls cool slightly, whisk powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract to create a drizzle-worthy glaze. Adjust liquid consistency as needed for smooth application.
- Finish and Serve: Elegantly drizzle glaze over warm Danish using a spoon or piping technique. Separate individual rolls and serve immediately, celebrating the delightful fusion of textures and flavors.
Notes
- Maintain Roll Integrity: Keep rolls connected during preparation to ensure uniform baking and easier handling.
- Create Precise Wells: Use a small spoon or fingertip to gently hollow roll centers without breaking the base, ensuring even cheesecake distribution.
- Control Moisture Balance: Avoid overfilling cheesecake mixture to prevent soggy rolls and ensure a perfect creamy texture.
- Glaze Temperature Trick: Drizzle glaze when Danish is warm but not hot, allowing optimal absorption and preventing runny consistency.
