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
The Food and Drug Administration Food Code recommends cooking eggs to 145ยฐF and to maintain that temperature for 15 seconds to consider them safe to eat.

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.

Nutrition
Nutritional information given is an automatic calculation and can vary based on the exact products you use and changes you make to the recipe. If these numbers are important to you, I recommend calculating them yourself.
Iโm so confused about the eggs and 14 second thing. If itโs been in the oven for 12 minutes.. how it the egg not cooked? I have reread it so many times and something is just not clicking in my brain.
I’m just saying they cook in 12 to 15 minutes. They don’t have to get any browner than they already are.
Hi , where is it you are from that these ‘Hawaian rolls’ are standard? I cannot find these here .. are they closest to a brioche type roll? Many thanks !!
They’re available throughout the US. Yes, a brioche rolls is closest to them, but I’ve made them other yeast rolls as well.
These were absolutely delicious. Can’t wait to make them again. Thank you so much for a great recipe.
What does the egg do for the cream cheese filing? Do you even really need it?
Binds it together so it doesn’t run.
These are so yummy and very easy to make!
Hi! I was just checking out the carbs and I am confused. Each roll has 16 carbs yet your recipe says 7 carbs per serving. Please clarify. They certainly sound great regardless of the carb count. Thanks!
I think it’s the way it’s listed in the ingredient list as 12 pack.
Can these be frozen?
I haven’t tried freezing this particular recipe. When I’ve frozen other recipes that have cream cheese the texture changes a little – it gets a little grainy and watery. If you do try to freeze them, I’d recommend freezing them after they’re baked.
Can these be prepared overnight and baked next morning?
yes, copying another commment for you Nikki says:

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. Itโll take a little longer to bake going from a cold refrigerator. Or, prep the rolls, prep the cream cheese mixture but donโt put it in the rolls. Cover and Refrigerate both. Then pipe the cream cheese in the morning. Youโll need to soften the cream cheese mixture in the microwave just a little so that itโll pipe (or spoon) into the rolls.
