Ingredients

Scale
For the Rolls
- 1 (12 Count Package) King's Hawaiian original sweet rolls
- 6 tbsp Salted Butter, melted
- 2 tbsp Brown Sugar
- 1 tbsp Ground Cinnamon
For the Cream Cheese Filling
- 8 oz Softened Cream Cheese
- 2 tbsp Granulated Sugar
- 1 Egg
Instructions
- Preheat and prepare: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and grease a 9×13 inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
- Prepare the rolls: Place the King’s Hawaiian rolls in the baking dish. Carefully cut a small square on the top of each roll without cutting through the bottom, then gently pull out some bread from each cut to create a cavity for the filling.
- Mix cinnamon butter: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon. Stir until well blended. Brush this mixture generously over the tops and inside each hollowed roll, ensuring they are well coated for maximum flavor.
- Make cream cheese filling: In a mixing bowl, use a hand mixer to beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add granulated sugar and the egg, then continue mixing until the filling is well blended and fluffy.
- Fill the rolls: Carefully spoon or pipe the cream cheese mixture into the cavity of each roll, filling them generously but without overstuffing.
- Bake: Place the baking dish into the preheated oven and bake for about 15 minutes, or until the rolls turn golden brown and the cream cheese filling is set.
- Cool and serve: Remove from oven and allow the rolls to cool slightly before slicing into individual portions. Serve warm to enjoy the melted cream cheese and soft cinnamon-spiced bread at their best.
Notes
- For an extra burst of flavor, add a slice of fresh strawberry, blueberries, or your favorite berries on top of the cream cheese filling before baking.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently before serving to restore softness.
