Instructions
Prepare the Dough
- Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Next, take your King’s Hawaiian bread and slice it into small pieces. Place these pieces in a large mixing bowl.
Mix the Ingredients
- In a separate bowl, combine 8 oz of softened cream cheese, ½ cup of sugar, and 1 tsp of vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy. This will be your delightful filling.
Assemble the Rolls
- Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the King’s Hawaiian bread pieces. Then, sprinkle a generous amount of cinnamon sugar (1 cup of sugar mixed with 2 tbsp of cinnamon) on top for that classic cinnamon roll flavor.
Roll It Up
- Carefully roll the dough into a log shape. Make sure to roll tightly to keep the filling inside. Once rolled, slice the log into 1-inch thick pieces. You should have about 12 rolls.
Prepare for Baking
- Grease a baking dish with butter or cooking spray. Place the sliced rolls in the dish, ensuring they are close but not touching. This allows them to rise beautifully.
Bake the Rolls
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. The aroma will fill your kitchen, making it hard to wait!
Cool Slightly
- Once baked, remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool for about 10 minutes. This cooling time is essential for the frosting to adhere properly.
Frost the Rolls
- While the rolls are cooling, prepare your frosting. Mix 4 oz of softened cream cheese with 1 cup of powdered sugar and a splash of milk until smooth. Spread this creamy frosting generously over the warm rolls.
Serve and Enjoy
- Finally, serve your King’s Hawaiian Cream Cheese Cinnamon Rolls warm. They are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or as a sweet treat any time of day!
