Ingredients

Scale

For the Danish:

  • 1 package Hawaiian King Sweet Rolls (12 rolls)
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg

For the Topping:

  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Fresh sliced strawberries
  • Caramel sauce for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Rolls: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Slice the Hawaiian King Sweet Rolls in half horizontally, keeping the bottom half together as a single layer, then place this bottom layer on a greased baking dish.
  2. Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a medium bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and egg until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  3. Assemble the Danish: Evenly spread the cheesecake filling over the bottom layer of rolls. Then, carefully place the top layer of rolls over the cheesecake mixture.
  4. Bake: Place the assembled Danish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the cheesecake filling is set.
  5. Cool Slightly: Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes to allow the filling to set further but still warm for serving.
  6. Prepare the Topping: In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth, creating a glaze.
  7. Glaze the Danish: Drizzle the glaze evenly over the baked Danish.
  8. Garnish and Serve: Arrange fresh sliced strawberries on top and finish with a drizzle of caramel sauce. Serve warm or at room temperature for the best experience.

Notes

  • Ensure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature before mixing for a smooth cheesecake filling.
  • Adjust the sweetness of the filling or glaze by adding more or less sugar according to taste preferences.
  • Serve the Danish warm for the best contrast between the soft rolls and creamy filling.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
  • Reheat individual portions gently in the microwave to preserve texture and flavor.
  • This Danish can be frozen for up to 1 month; wrap tightly and thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
  • You can substitute Hawaiian King Sweet Rolls with other sweet rolls or croissant dough, adjusting baking times accordingly.
  • Optionally omit caramel sauce or replace it with chocolate sauce or fruit preserves for varied flavors.
  • To prevent cheesecake filling from spilling over, spread evenly and gently press the top layer to seal edges before baking.
