For the Glaze (Optional):

  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar 🍬
  • 1-2 tablespoons milk 🥛
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract 🌿

📝 Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:

  1. Preheat your oven:
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.

2. Prepare the Cheesecake Filling:

  1. Beat the cream cheese:
  • In a medium mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and egg until smooth and creamy.

3. Assemble the Danish:

  1. Prepare the rolls:
  • Slice the King’s Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally without separating them. Place the bottom half of the rolls in the prepared baking dish.
  1. Add the cheesecake filling:
  • Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the bottom half of the rolls.
  1. Add fruit preserves (optional):
  • If you’re using fruit preserves, spread a thin layer on top of the cream cheese filling.
  1. Top with the roll tops:
  • Place the top half of the rolls back over the cheesecake filling.

4. Bake the Danish:

  1. Bake:
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops of the rolls are golden brown and the cheesecake filling is set.
  1. Cool:
  • Allow the danish to cool for 10 minutes.

5. Make the Glaze (Optional):

  1. Prepare the glaze:
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. If the glaze is too thick, add more milk; if it’s too thin, add more powdered sugar.

6. Serve:

  1. Drizzle with glaze:
  • Drizzle the glaze over the top of the warm danish or dust with powdered sugar for a simpler finish.
  1. Slice and enjoy:
  • Slice the King’s Hawaiian Cheesecake Danish and enjoy warm or at room temperature.
