Description
A delightful dessert combining the sweetness of King’s Hawaiian rolls with a creamy cheesecake filling and fresh fruit toppings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package King’s Hawaiian sweet rolls (12-count, unsliced)
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 225 g (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup pineapple tidbits, well-drained
- ½ cup fresh strawberries, sliced
- ½ cup fresh pineapple chunks
- ½ cup whipped cream or sweetened cream cheese topping
- Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F).
- Without separating, slice the King’s Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally (like making a sheet cake).
- Place the bottom half in a greased or parchment-lined baking dish.
- In a bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar, egg yolk, and vanilla until smooth and creamy.
- Fold in drained pineapple tidbits.
- Spread the cheesecake filling evenly over the bottom layer of rolls.
- Place the top layer of rolls back on.
- Brush tops with melted butter.
- Bake for 22–25 minutes, until golden brown and set.
- Let cool slightly before adding toppings.
- Spread a thin layer of whipped cream (or extra sweet cream cheese topping) on top.
- Arrange sliced strawberries and pineapple chunks over the surface.
- Dust lightly with powdered sugar if desired.
Notes
- Ensure the pineapple tidbits are well-drained to avoid a soggy filling.
- For a richer flavor, use full-fat cream cheese.
- This dessert is best served fresh but can be stored in the refrigerator for a day.
