 Ingredients

For the Rolls

• 1 package (12 count) Hawaiian sweet rolls

• 6 tablespoons salted butter, melted

• 2 tablespoons brown sugar, packed

• 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

For the Cream Cheese Filling

• 8 ounces full-fat cream cheese, softened to room temperature

• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar

• 1 large egg

 Instructions

1. Preheat and Prepare

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or nonstick spray.

2. Prepare the Rolls

Place the Hawaiian rolls into the baking dish, keeping them in their original arrangement.
Using a small knife, cut a shallow square (about 1 inch) into the top of each roll. Carefully remove the center to create a small well, making sure not to cut through the bottom.

3. Make the Cinnamon-Butter Glaze

In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon until well combined.

4. Brush the Rolls

Generously brush the cinnamon-butter mixture over the tops and inside each roll, ensuring they are fully coated for maximum flavor.

5. Make the Cream Cheese Filling

In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the sugar and egg, then mix until creamy and fully combined.

6. Fill the Rolls

Spoon or pipe the cream cheese filling into each hollowed roll. Fill generously until level or slightly over the top.

7. Bake

Bake on the middle rack for 15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the filling is set.

8. Cool and Serve

Allow the rolls to cool for about 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm for the best texture and flavor.
