Ingredients:
For the Danish:
1 package Hawaiian King Sweet Rolls (12 rolls)
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 large egg
For the topping:
1/2 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Fresh sliced strawberries
Caramel sauce for drizzling
Directions:
Prepare the Rolls:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Slice the Hawaiian King Sweet Rolls in half horizontally, keeping the bottom half together as a single layer.
Place the bottom layer on a greased baking dish.
Make the Cheesecake Filling:
In a medium bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and egg until smooth and creamy.
Spread the cheesecake mixture evenly over the bottom layer of rolls.
Add the Top Layer:
Place the top layer of rolls over the cheesecake filling.
Bake:
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the cheesecake filling is set.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly.
Prepare the Topping:
In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract to make a glaze.
Drizzle the glaze over the baked Danish.
Garnish and Serve:
Top with sliced strawberries and a drizzle of caramel sauce.
Serve warm or at room temperature.
Serving Tips:
Warm and Fresh: Serve the Danish warm for the best experience. The contrast between the warm, golden crust and the creamy cheesecake filling is simply delightful.
Garnish Creatively: Enhance the presentation by arranging fresh sliced strawberries on top before serving. Drizzle with caramel sauce for an extra touch of sweetness and visual appeal.
Accompaniments: Pair with a hot cup of coffee or tea to complement the rich flavors. This Danish is perfect for breakfast, brunch, or as a special dessert.
Storage Tips:
Refrigeration: Store any leftover Danish in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will stay fresh for up to 3-4 days.
Reheating: To enjoy leftovers, gently reheat individual portions in the microwave for a few seconds until warmed through. This helps maintain the soft texture of the rolls and creamy consistency of the cheesecake filling.
Freezing: While best enjoyed fresh, you can freeze the Danish for up to 1 month. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and then foil before freezing. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator and reheat as desired.

FAQs:
Can I use a different type of sweet rolls for this recipe?
While Hawaiian King Sweet Rolls are recommended for their unique flavor and texture, you can substitute with other sweet rolls or even croissant dough for a slightly different taste. Adjust baking times as needed.
Can I prepare the Danish ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the Danish up to a day in advance. After baking and cooling, store it in the refrigerator. Warm it in the oven at a low temperature or microwave briefly before serving.
Can I omit the caramel sauce or use a different topping?
Absolutely! The caramel sauce adds a rich, sweet flavor, but you can omit it or substitute with chocolate sauce, fruit preserves, or a dusting of powdered sugar based on your preference.
How can I prevent the cheesecake filling from spilling over while baking?
Make sure to spread the cheesecake filling evenly over the bottom layer of sweet rolls. Additionally, placing the top layer gently and pressing slightly can help seal the edges. Monitoring the Danish while baking and adjusting the temperature if necessary can also prevent overflow.
