Ingredients
Method
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.
- Carefully split each King's Hawaiian roll in half horizontally and arrange all the bottom halves snugly in a single layer in the prepared baking dish.
- In a medium mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla bean paste until smooth and creamy.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the roll bottoms, all the way to the edges.
- Place the top halves of the rolls back over the cream cheese layer, aligning them with their bottoms.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and remaining 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste until the glaze is smooth and pourable.
- Drizzle the glaze evenly over the tops of the rolls, covering most of the surface.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the tops are golden brown and the glaze is bubbly around the edges.
- Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- Make sure the cream cheese is fully softened so the filling mixes smooth without lumps.
- For cleaner slices, let the danish cool closer to room temperature before cutting.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat gently in a low oven.
- You can add a handful of fresh berries over the cream cheese layer before baking for a fruity twist.
