Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 (12-count) package King’s Hawaiian original sweet rolls
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 large egg
Sweeteners and Spices:
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Butter and Binding:
- 6 tablespoons salted butter, melted
Instructions
- Prepare the baking setup by heating the oven to 375F (190C) and lightly coating a 9×13-inch baking dish with non-stick spray.
- Carefully slice small openings on top of each Hawaiian roll, delicately hollowing out a small pocket while preserving the roll’s base structure.
- Create a fragrant cinnamon butter blend by whisking melted butter with brown sugar and ground cinnamon until thoroughly combined.
- Generously coat the interior and exterior of roll cavities with the prepared cinnamon butter mixture, ensuring even distribution.
- In a separate mixing bowl, whip softened cream cheese until silky smooth, then incorporate granulated sugar and egg, blending until the filling achieves a consistent, creamy texture.
- Methodically fill each roll’s pocket with the cream cheese mixture, ensuring each cavity is abundantly and evenly stuffed.
- Arrange the filled rolls in the prepared baking dish, maintaining a slight spacing between them.
- Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 15 minutes, monitoring until the rolls transform to a golden-brown hue and the cream cheese filling sets firmly.
- Remove from oven and allow a brief cooling period before serving, letting the rolls settle and flavors meld together.
Notes
- Use room temperature cream cheese for smooth, lump-free filling that blends easily and spreads perfectly inside the rolls.
- Create deeper cavities by using a small spoon or butter knife to gently scoop out more bread, allowing more cream cheese mixture to fit.
- Try flavor variations by adding vanilla extract, orange zest, or a dash of nutmeg to the cream cheese filling for a personalized touch.
- Cool rolls slightly before serving to prevent burning and allow the cream cheese filling to set, ensuring a delightful texture and temperature.
