1-Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C): Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Melt 1 tablespoon of butter. And spread it evenly across the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish or sheet pan. This helps create a non-stick base. And adds a buttery touch to the rolls.
2-Place your 12-pack of Hawaiian sweet rolls: Place your 12-pack of Hawaiian sweet rolls into the dish. Grab a sharp knife and cut an ‘X’ into each roll. Going about two-thirds deep. But not all the way through. You want to create a pocket for the delicious filling. Without slicing them completely open.
3-In a small bowl, combine ⅓ cup: In a small bowl, combine ⅓ cup melted butter, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, ½ tablespoon cinnamon, and ⅛ teaspoon nutmeg. Stir everything together. Until it’s well mixed.
4-Drizzle the cinnamon butter mixture evenly over: Drizzle the cinnamon butter mixture evenly over your prepped rolls. Ensuring every corner gets coated with that sweet, spiced goodness.
5-In a separate bowl, beat the cream: In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Mix in 3 tablespoons of granulated sugar until well combined. Finally, stir in the beaten egg. Until everything’s incorporated into a luscious filling.
6-Time to get creative: Time to get creative! Fill each roll with the cream cheese mixture. You can use a piping bag fitted with a large tip for precision. If you don’t have one. Snip the corner off a zip-top bag or use a spoon. Gently work the filling into each roll’s pocket.
7-Place your dish in the preheated oven: Place your dish in the preheated oven. And bake the rolls for 12-15 minutes. Keep an eye on them – they’re done when they’re golden and slightly crusty on top. If you’re unsure. You can always check that the internal temperature has reached 145°F (62°C) for safety.
8-Once baked: Once baked. Allow the rolls to cool for a couple of minutes before serving. Be cautious – the cream cheese filling will be piping hot straight out of the oven!
9-If you have any leftovers (though that’s: If you have any leftovers (though that’s unlikely!), store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They’ll stay fresh for 3 to 4 days. Enjoy these Danishes warm or cold – they’re delightful either way!
