Pina Colada Sweet Roll Danish Ingredients

The full recipe for Pina Colada Cheesecake Sweet Rolls with ingredient amounts and instructions is at the bottom of this post. You can save a tree and the recipe to your personal and private recipe box here on Call Me PMc. This way, you’ll never misplace it.

To start, you’ll need to gather your ingredients. Don’t worry—nothing too fancy here—just some basic items you can find at any grocery store. You’ll need butter, Hawaiian sweet rolls, cream cheese, sugar, an egg, sweetened coconut flakes, coconut extract, pineapple chunks (or tidbits), and maraschino cherries. For the glaze, you’ll just need powdered sugar and pineapple juice.

• Butter
• Hawaiian sweet rolls or this brand
• Cream Cheese
• Sugar
• Egg
• Sweetened coconut flakes
• coconut extract
• Pineapple chunks
• Maraschino cherries
• Powdered sugar
• Pineapple juice, from drained pineapple

Method

Once you’ve got everything you need, start by pre-heating your oven and melting some butter in your baking pan. Place the rolls in the pan on top of the butter. Then, carefully slice a large X in the top of your Hawaiian sweet rolls.

Next, it’s time to make the cheesecake filling. In a bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar, egg, coconut flakes, and coconut extract until smooth and creamy. (I prefer to pulse the coconut flakes in a food processor until they’re ground finely, but you don’t have to do this.)

Once it’s well mixed, you’ll pipe the mixture into the rolls where you made the X. It’s easier if you use a piping bag with a large tip 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. You can also spoon the cream cheese into the rolls, but it’s a little messy with spoons.

Place one or two pineapple chunks evenly over the cheesecake filling.

Bake the rolls, uncovered at 375°F, for 12 to 15 minutes, depending on how brown you want them.

While your Danish is baking, you can whip up a quick glaze to drizzle over the top. Just mix together some powdered sugar and pineapple juice until you’ve got a smooth, pourable consistency.

Once your Pina Colada Cream Cheese Danish is finished baking, let it cool for a bit before drizzling the glaze over the top. Then, garnish with the cherries!!

What are some tips for making a perfect cheesecake Danish?

To make a perfect King Hawaiian Pina Colada Cheesecake Danish, here are some tips:

1. Use Quality Ingredients: Ensure you use fresh and high-quality ingredients, especially cream cheese, as it greatly impacts the flavor and texture of the Danish.
2. Pineapple and cherries: Drain them well to prevent your Danish from getting too soggy.
3. Room temperature Ingredients: Your cream cheese will mix more smoothly at room temperature. When cream cheese is cold, it breaks and clumps instead of mixing smoothly.
4. Adjust Baking Time: Watch the Danish while baking and adjust the time as needed to achieve a golden brown color without overbaking.
5. Don’t skip the glaze: It adds an extra layer of sweetness and helps tie all the flavors together.

1. Prepare and Assemble: Prepare the Danish as the recipe directs, but stop before baking.

3. Bake from Frozen: When you’re ready to bake, simply place the frozen Danish on a baking sheet and bake according to the recipe’s instructions, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time if needed.

By following these tips and make-ahead instructions, you can ensure a perfect King Hawaiian Cheesecake Danish with the convenience of preparing it in advance.
