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

KING’S HAWAIIAN CHEESECAKE DANISH
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon butter melted
- 12 pack Hawaiian sweet rolls King's or this brand
- ⅓ cup butter melted
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar like this
- ½ tablespoon ground cinnamon like this
- ⅛ 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 375°F. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter and spread it evenly in a 9×13-inch baking dish, sheet pan, or another pan with sides.1 tablespoon butter
- Place the rolls over the butter. Cut an X into the rolls about ⅔s down but not completely through the bottom of the rolls.12 pack Hawaiian sweet rolls
- Stir together the ⅓ cup butter, brown sugar, nutmeg, and cinnamon in a measuring cup. Pour evenly over the rolls.⅓ cup butter, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, ½ tablespoon ground cinnamon, ⅛ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
- Stir the room temperature cream cheese until smooth. Stir in the sugar 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. 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 375°F for 12 to 15 minutes. Everything is already cooked except the egg and they just need to be at 145°F for 15 seconds. (You can test with an instant-read thermometer 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.

These were a big hit! I doubled the recipe so we could have leftovers and everyone could have more than one. A pack of 24 fit in my large glass dish. My tip is, don’t warm up the cream cheese too much. Mine ended up being a puddle! I was in a hurry and microwaved it into a liquid. It turned out fine after baking, maybe a little longer than 15 minutes to set it back up and browning slightly, but it poured out of the piping bag and didn’t exactly pipe. I will definitely make this again and try not to liquify the cream cheese! I needed a trough not an X hahaha!
Hahahahhah!!! Store leftover rolls 3-4 days! Hahahahhahaha!!!! I can’t breathe! Left overs, what are those? These will be made for Thanksgiving this year!!
Sorry, Do you pull apart the rolls before putting them into the pan?
You can do it either way. I didn’t these but I pulled these apart for the photos.
Do you put apart the rolls before putting them into the pan?
Delicious AND easy! these were such a hit next time I’m doubling the recipe. So Good!
So yummy! I put strawberries in some of them and it was amazing. I wasn’t sure how strawberries would go with the cinnamon butter mixture but it was such a great flavor pairing! Will make again
So glad you liked it. I’ve put strawberries and it is good. Also, I like peaches in them. Thank you for commenting, Jessica.
I am horrible at pastry would it be easier to scoop out some of the roll then add the filling? Or am I overthinking lol
Yes, You can, but it seemed easier and faster to me to cut the Xs so that’s why I did it that way. You can also spoon the cream cheese mixture in the rolls, but I think it’s faster to use the bag.
👍🏽
Absolutely delicious!!! I will be making these often!!
I followed all the instructions and this ultimately just came out looking like cinnamon rolls, not danishes. Still super yummy, though.
I made these for my son, who loves Kings Hawaiin rolls. OMG, these are so easy and are truly delicious. I can’t have them around my house, I would eat too many!!
Same!! I love them too.
These came out delicious. I was 2 buns short as my daughter didn’t know my plan for the buns, so they had extra cheesiness. Before piping the cheese in, I did turn my rolls and dipped all the sides into the cinnamon / butter mixture that lay on the bottom after the pour.
These are perfect for a mom brunch. It was quick and easy to make! The family loved them!
Thank you!!
So happy you enjoyed them – I could eat them every day! 😍
