Hawaiian Cream Cheese Danish Frequently Asked Questions
Oddly, on King’s Hawaiian website, they never say exactly what kind of bread the slider rolls are. I did find on another site stating they are a ‘spin on classic Portuguese sweet bread, which is often made with milk, sugar, yeast, flour, and pineapple juice.’
In my opinion, King’s Hawaiian is similar to brioche. It’s light and airy with a fine, tender texture. They taste buttery and slightly sweet.
Since everything is already cooked except the egg in the

KINGโS HAWAIIAN CHEESECAKE DANISH
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon butter melted
- 12 pack Hawaiian sweet rolls King's or this brand
- โ cup butter melted
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar like this
- ยฝ tablespoon ground cinnamon like this
- โ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg omit or reduce if you're not a fan
- 8 ounces cream cheese recommended
- 1 large eggs beaten
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
Instructions
- Bloggers and creators, be a good human and don't copy my recipe.
- Preheat the oven to 375ยฐF. Melt 1 tablespoon ofย butterย and spread it evenly in a 9ร13-inch baking dish,ย sheet pan, or another pan with sides.1 tablespoon butter
- Place the rolls over the butter. Cut an X into the rolls about โ s down but not completely through the bottom of the rolls.12 pack Hawaiian sweet rolls
- Stir together the โ cup butter,ย brown sugar,ย nutmeg, andย cinnamonย in a measuring cup. Pour evenly over the rolls.โ cup butter, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, ยฝ tablespoon ground cinnamon, โ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
- Stir the room temperature cream cheese until smooth. Stir in theย sugarย until smooth. Next, stir in the beaten egg until incorporated.8 ounces cream cheese, 1 large eggs, 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- Now, you'll fill the rolls with the cream cheese mixture. It's easier if you use a piping bag with a large tip on it to pipe the cream cheese into the rolls. If you don't have a piping bag, you can up a zip-top bag and snip the end. You'll need to work with it to get the cream cheese into the roll and not just on top. As well, you can spoon the cream cheese into the rolls.ย It may take a little working with the first time you do it. I found the piping bag and tip the easiest.
- Bake the rolls, uncovered at 375ยฐF for 12 to 15 minutes. Everything is already cooked except the egg and they just need to be at 145ยฐF for 15 seconds. (You can test with anย instant-read thermometerย if you prefer.) Therefore, after 12 minutes it really depends on how crusty you want the rolls to get. I prefer soft and took the ones photographed out at 12 minutes.
- Allow the rolls to cool just a couple of minutes before serving. The cream cheese mixture is really hot and runny right out of the oven.
- Serve warm. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They'll keep 3 to 4 days.

Absolutely loooooved this recipe omg so good and easy everything you could ask for I love easy and delicious recipes thank you so much I’m so happy ๐ ๐ ๐
Would love to make these! Pinning it for later but wonder if youโve ever added fruit on top of the cream cheese before baking?
Yes, You can add fresh fruit to the cream cheese mixture and bake. Or, add strawberry/cherry/blueberry pie filling on top and bake. Or, you can add macerated strawberries (or any fruit) to the top AFTER they’re baked. All good in my opinion.
Are you using slider size buns or large hamburger size. I would use sliders as they sound rich. Thanks
They small slider sized but technically they aren’t slider buns because they aren’t sliced. (They make both sliced and unsliced and I use the unsliced rolls.)
East and delicious!! I drizzled a little icing on it.
Do you have a suggestion for making the night before and how to best reheat in the morning?
You could either put the whole thing together, cover it with plastic wrap, refrigerate it, and then bake it in the morning. It’ll take a little longer to bake going from a cold refrigerator. Or, prep the rolls, prep the cream cheese mixture but don’t put it in the rolls. Cover and Refrigerate both. Then pipe the cream cheese in the morning. You’ll need to soften the cream cheese mixture in the microwave just a little so that it’ll pipe (or spoon) into the rolls.
This is amazing!!! I just made it and try to control myself because I want to eat all of them. Thanks for sharing the recipe. ๐
I have the same problem with them. ๐
Could you substitute ricotta cheese for the cream cheese in this. I look forward to trying the recipe as is but just wondered. Thank you!
You can use mascarpone. Ricotta has more liquid so I’m not sure it would work.
Canโt wait to try this. I usually do sopapilla cheesecake- but cost of crescent rolls is so high!
Also- when I save on Pinterest sometimes it says โposter has removed this postโ smh! Then I donโt even remember what it was! Does your recipe box avoid this?
No the recipe box will save all the recipes you put there. Then you just log in to access them. You can make menus and grocery lists from them too.
Hello you can use both , just put the ricotta cheese in a bowl n pat it dry and let it set in cheesecloth. I just use paper towels. If you mix both of these add vanilla and powdered sugar and choc chips inside. And then follow her directions. Sheโs good.
This looks amazing! I like easy recipes. I have a question. Yoy make an X in the rolls but so yoy not remove any of the roll for the filling? Thank you!
No, I don’t.
I am confused by the nutritional info supplied. It says 7 carbs but just the roll is 16 per the Kings Hawaiian website. Then you have the sugar on top of that. Please explain how you got 7 carbs per roll. Thanks.
I don’t calculate it manually, the system does and it’s way off at times.
