📋 Ingredients:
For the Danish:
- 🥯 1 package of King’s Hawaiian Original Hawaiian Sweet Rolls
- 🍫 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 🍬 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 🥚 1 large egg
- 🍋 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 🍋 1 tsp lemon juice
- 🥄 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 🍯 2 tbsp butter, melted
- 🥄 1 tbsp powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
📝 Directions:
Prepare the Danish:
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare the Rolls: Separate the King’s Hawaiian rolls and cut a small circle out of the top of each roll, making a well for the cheesecake filling. Place the rolls on the prepared baking sheet.
- Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar. Mix until smooth and creamy. Add the egg, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and flour. Mix until well combined.
- Fill the Rolls: Spoon the cheesecake mixture into the wells of each roll, filling them generously.
- Bake: Brush the edges of the rolls with melted butter. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the filling is set and the rolls are golden brown.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the Danish to cool slightly. Dust with powdered sugar if desired. Serve warm or at room temperature.
