Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 package King's Hawaiian original sweet rolls
  • 6 tbsp Salted Butter melted
  • 2 tbsp Brown Sugar
  • 1 tbsp Ground Cinnamon
  • 8 oz Softened Cream Cheese softened
  • 2 tbsp Granulated Sugar
  • 1 Egg

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees and grease a 9x13 baking dish.
  2. Place the King's Hawaiian rolls in the dish and carefully cut a small square in the top of each roll, gently pulling out some of the bread without cutting the bottom.
  3. Combine melted butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Brush this mixture over the tops and insides of each roll.
  4. Beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Add granulated sugar and egg, mixing until creamy.
  5. Filling each roll with the cream cheese mixture, ensuring a generous amount in each cavity.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until golden and the filling is set. Allow to cool slightly before serving.

Notes

Let the rolls cool slightly before serving for the best experience.
