Method
 

How to Make King’s Hawaiian Cheesecake Danish
  1. Preheat your oven to the temperature recommended on the package for the King’s Hawaiian Rolls, ensuring they bake perfectly.
  2. In a mixing bowl, blend the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until you achieve a smooth, creamy texture—this should take about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Slice the King’s Hawaiian Rolls in half horizontally and spread the cream cheese mixture evenly on the bottom half, making sure to cover every corner for delightful flavor in every bite.
  4. Place the top halves back onto the rolls to create little sandwich-like treasures filled with creaminess.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and another teaspoon of vanilla extract until you achieve a smooth consistency. Adjust with more milk or sugar as needed to reach a drizzling thickness.
  6. Drizzle the luscious glaze generously over the top of the assembled rolls, allowing it to cascade down the sides—that's where the magic happens!
  7. Bake the rolls according to the package instructions until they are golden, usually around 15-20 minutes, keeping an eye on them to prevent burning.

Notes
