Hawaiian Cream Cheese Danish Frequently Asked Questions
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.
Since everything is already cooked except the egg in the

Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon butter melted
- 12 pack Hawaiian sweet rolls King's or this brand
- ⅓ cup butter melted
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar like this
- ½ tablespoon ground cinnamon like this
- ⅛ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg omit or reduce if you're not a fan
- 8 ounces cream cheese recommended
- 1 large eggs 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.1 tablespoon butter
- Place the rolls over the butter. Cut an X into the rolls about ⅔s down but not completely through the bottom of the rolls.12 pack Hawaiian sweet rolls
- Stir together the ⅓ cup butter, brown sugar, nutmeg, and cinnamon in a measuring cup. Pour evenly over the rolls.⅓ cup butter, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, ½ tablespoon ground cinnamon, ⅛ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
- Stir the room temperature cream cheese until smooth. Stir in the sugar until smooth. Next, stir in the beaten egg until incorporated.8 ounces cream cheese, 1 large eggs, 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 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.

Do you think I can add a pie filling to this? Any suggestions would be AMAZING
Yes, any flavor will be good. Add a spoonful on top of the cream cheese mixture. Or you can mix fresh fruit into the cream cheese mixture.
This came out great! I neglected to put the raisins in during the step required so they weren’t as soft as they should have been, and I used 2% milk (Fairlife, which acts like whole milk in recipes). Everyone loved it and some had 2nds. Thank you –
The recipe was good but jeez you go on and on with useless information
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣Thanks, that’s great!!
Wow. What a delicious treat! This recipe has the perfect cheese Danish taste. Bakery good. Thank you for the easy and pleasing recipe.
I’ve made these a few times, today I added crushed pineapple with the cr cheese… delicious
Could you use a brioche roll?
yes, you can.
These are so easy and always a hit. I’m not fond of nutmeg so I chose to omit it since it’s optional.
Haha. I was just on pinterest and someone is trying to sell this recipe (among others) for $2.59. Who pays for recipes? All I had to do is search and I found the recipe for free. Can’t wait to try it it looks amazing!
Can you freeze these? Want to make them for my mom. Sounds delish!

I just made these and, yes, they are delicious! However, the next time I make them I will line my pan with parchment paper! For our taste, I will add a bit more sugar to the cream cheese mixture. To reheat, I microwaved 10 seconds at power level 3. Wonderful!
