How to Make King’s Hawaiian Cheesecake Danish

Ingredients

• 1 package King’s Hawaiian Rolls (12 count)
• 1 package cream cheese (8 ounces), softened
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup guava paste, thinly sliced
• 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
• Powdered sugar for dusting

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This is the perfect temperature for baking!
2. Take the King’s Hawaiian Rolls and slice them in half horizontally. This creates a top and bottom layer for your Danish.
3. In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese with the granulated sugar and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy.
4. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the bottom layer of the Hawaiian Rolls. Make sure it’s nice and thick!
5. Now, lay the thin slices of guava paste on top of the cream cheese. This adds a fruity flavor that pairs beautifully.
6. Place the top layer of the rolls back on and brush the beaten egg on top. This will give it a lovely golden color.
7. Sprinkle some all-purpose flour over the rolls to help them brown nicely and prevent sticking.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and yummy looking.
9. Once done, remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Dust with powdered sugar before serving warm.
