Directions for Delicious Hawaiian King Cheesecake Danish

Let’s create this heavenly Delicious Hawaiian King Cheesecake Danish!

Prepare the Rolls

I preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). I grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
I slice 1 package of Hawaiian King Sweet Rolls in half horizontally, keeping the bottom half intact as a single layer, and place it in the dish, cut side up.

Make the Cheesecake Filling

In a medium bowl, I beat 8 oz softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until creamy, about 1 minute.
I add ½ cup granulated sugar, 1 tsp vanilla extract, and 1 egg, mixing until smooth and velvety, about 2 minutes.

Assemble the Danish

I spread the cheesecake filling evenly over the bottom layer of rolls, using a spatula for a smooth finish.
I gently place the top layer of rolls over the filling, pressing lightly to secure.

Bake

I bake for 25–30 minutes, until the top is golden brown and the cheesecake filling is set with a slight jiggle in the center.
I remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes.

Prepare the Glaze

In a small bowl, I whisk ½ cup powdered sugar, 2 tbsp milk, and ½ tsp vanilla extract until smooth, adjusting milk for a drizzly consistency.

Garnish and Serve

I drizzle the glaze over the warm Danish, then top with 1 cup sliced strawberries and a ¼ cup caramel sauce drizzle.
I slice into 12 portions and serve warm or at room temperature.

FAQs About Delicious Hawaiian King Cheesecake Danish

Here are some common questions about this recipe:

Can I use a different type of sweet rolls for this recipe?
While Hawaiian King Sweet Rolls are recommended for their unique flavor and texture, you can substitute with other sweet rolls or even croissant dough for a slightly different taste. Adjust baking times as needed.

Can I prepare the Danish ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the Danish up to a day in advance. After baking and cooling, store it in the refrigerator. Warm it in the oven at a low temperature or microwave briefly before serving.

Can I omit the caramel sauce or use a different topping?
Absolutely! The caramel sauce adds a rich, sweet flavor, but you can omit it or substitute with chocolate sauce, fruit preserves, or a dusting of powdered sugar based on your preference.

How can I prevent the cheesecake filling from spilling over while baking?
Make sure to spread the cheesecake filling evenly over the bottom layer of sweet rolls. Additionally, placing the top layer gently and pressing slightly can help seal the edges. Monitoring the Danish while baking and adjusting the temperature if necessary can also prevent overflow.
