Hawaiian Cream Cheese Danish Frequently Asked Questions

Isn’t everything already cooked? How long do I need to cook them?

Since everything is already cooked except the egg in the cream cheese mixture, you just need to get it to 145°F for 15 seconds.

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

What kind of bread is King’s Hawaiian?

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.

How to fill the danish with 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. It may take a little working with the first time you do it. I found the piping bag and tip the easiest.

This Hawaiian Cheesecake Danish recipe will become a favorite with your family. It’s so easy and so good.

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 12 minutes
Total Time: 22 minutes
Servings: 12 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon butter melted
  • 12 pack KING'S HAWAIIAN® original sweet rolls
  • cup butter melted
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • ½ tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • teaspoon ground nutmeg omit or reduce if you're not a fan
  • 8 ounces cream cheese
  • 1 large egg beaten
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar

Instructions

  • Bloggers and creators, be a good human and don't copy my recipe.
  • Preheat the oven to 375°F. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter and spread it evenly in a 9×13-inch baking dish, sheet pan, or another pan with sides.
  • Place the rolls over the butter. Cut an X into the rolls about ⅔s down but not completely through the bottom of the rolls.
  • Stir together the ⅓ cup butter, brown sugar, nutmeg, and cinnamon in a measuring cup. Pour evenly over the rolls.
  • Stir the room temperature cream cheese until smooth. Stir in the sugar until smooth. Next, stir in the beaten egg until incorporated.
  • 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. 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 375°F for 12 to 15 minutes. Everything is already cooked except the egg and they just need to be at 145°F for 15 seconds. (You can test with an instant-read thermometer 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.

    These were absolutely delicious. Can’t wait to make them again. Thank you so much for a great recipe.

    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!

    1. 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.

    1. 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. It’ll take a little longer to bake going from a cold refrigerator. Or, prep the rolls, prep the cream cheese mixture but don’t put it in the rolls. Cover and Refrigerate both. Then pipe the cream cheese in the morning. You’ll need to soften the cream cheese mixture in the microwave just a little so that it’ll pipe (or spoon) into the rolls.
