Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted
- 12-pack KING’S HAWAIIAN® original sweet rolls
- 1/3 cup butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1/2 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg (omit or reduce if not a fan)
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter and spread it evenly in a 9×13-inch baking dish, sheet pan, or another pan with sides.
- Place the rolls over the butter. Cut an X into the rolls about 2/3 down but not completely through the bottom of the rolls.
- Stir together the 1/3 cup butter, brown sugar, nutmeg, and cinnamon in a measuring cup. Pour evenly over the rolls.
- Stir the room temperature cream cheese until smooth. Stir in the sugar until smooth. Next, stir in the beaten egg until incorporated.
- Fill the rolls with the cream cheese mixture. Use a piping bag with a large tip to pipe the cream cheese into the rolls. If you don’t have a piping bag, you can use a zip-top bag and snip the end. Alternatively, spoon the cream cheese into the rolls. It may take a little working with the first time you do it.
- Bake the rolls, uncovered at 375°F for 12 to 15 minutes until the rolls are cooked through and golden brown.
- Allow the rolls to cool for a couple of minutes before serving. Serve warm. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They’ll keep for 3 to 4 days.
Enjoy!
