Hawaiian Rolls Strawberry Cheesecake Sliders… Hawaiian Strawberry Cheesecake Sliders…. Strawberry Cheesecake Sliders…. whatever you want to call them, I call them good!
A few years back, sliders were the craze. They were at every party and event. Little 3-bite sandwiches made with every savory combination of meats, cheeses, and toppings that you can imagine. Those little party sandwiches are still popular. That led to dessert sandwich sliders.
And, I want to be on the record stating I highly approve of this new food craze!

If you’re serving these as hand-held sliders, they’re a little messy with the glaze on top. You may want to consider omitting the glaze (don’t do it) or serving them with a fork instead. (I highly recommend a fork and all the glaze. 😍)

- Hawaiian rolls. Hawaiian rolls are slightly sweet, buttery, soft rolls. You’re probably most familiar with King’s brand Hawaiian rolls but they do come in other brands, like this, and any brand will work. Actually, you can also use Sister Schubert parker house rolls for this recipe.
- Cream cheese. It needs to be at room temperature. It’ll mix much easier. I don’t recommend low-fat or fat-free
cream cheese . - Sugar. I used brown sugar but you can use granulated white sugar or coconut sugar.
- Egg.
- Strawberry pie filling. I used this brand.
- Butter. I haven’t tested these with margarine or plant-based
butter . - Powdered sugar.
- Heavy Cream. You can sub milk, but heavy cream will be creamier and better.
- Vanilla extract.

- 1 12-count package Hawaiian rolls
- 4 ounces cream cheese at room temperature
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 medium egg at room temperature
- 14.5 -ounces strawberry pie filling I didn't use the entire can
- 3 tablespoons butter melted
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 3 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and spray a 9x13-inch baking pan with nonstick spray.
- Slice your rolls horizontally. Place the bottom rolls in your pan.
- In a bowl, combine the cream cheese, sugar, and egg. Mix until smooth.
- Evenly spread the cream cheese mixture over the rolls in the pan.
- Spoon the strawberry pie filling over the cream cheese. (I used about 3/4 of the can. You can spread it all on if you want.)
- Place the top half of the rolls on. (Try to line up the rolls, they'll break apart easier.)
- Melt 3 tablespoons of butter and pour it over the top of the slider buns.
- Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Uncover and bake for another 5 to 10 minutes.
- While they are baking, whisk together the glaze, that is powdered sugar, heavy cream, and vanilla.

Is there a way to use fresh strawberries instead of canned
Yes, you can thicken fresh berries.
1 Tablespoon cornstarch
3 Tablespoons warm water
1 lb strawberries, hulled and sliced in half
1/4 cup granulated sugar
Whisk the cornstarch and water together until all the cornstarch has dissolved. Place this mixture and the rest of the ingredients in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir it as it cooks. Bring it to a simmer and simmer for 5 minutes (stir constantly). After 5 minutes, remove pan from the heat and allow to cool. It’ll get thicker as it cools.
Replace this mixture with the canned strawberries.
Can you freeze these?
I don’t recommend freezing it. The cream cheese breaks and gets watery when frozen.
Going to make this. Hubby would love it.
My son loved them, he took them to school and they fought over them. 😂
