1 package (12 oz) King’s Hawaiian Sweet Rolls
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted.
1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon.
1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup powdered sugar.
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease a 9×9-inch baking dish and place the King’s Hawaiian Sweet Rolls in it, arranging them in a grid pattern.
In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon together.
Spoon the cinnamon mixture over the top of the rolls, making sure to coat each roll evenly.
Bake the rolls for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and the sugar mixture is bubbling.
While the rolls are baking, prepare the icing. In a small bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth.
Once the rolls are baked, remove them from the oven and drizzle the cream cheese icing over the top while they are still warm.
Variations & Tips for King’s Hawaiian Cinnamon Rolls
Variations:
Nutty Delight:
Add ¼ cup chopped pecans or walnuts on top before baking for extra crunch.
Caramel Drizzle:
Swap the cinnamon-sugar mixture for dulce de leche or caramel sauce before baking.
Chocolate Twist:
Sprinkle mini chocolate chips over the cinnamon mixture for a gooey, chocolatey version.
Pumpkin Spice Version:
Replace cinnamon with pumpkin spice for a fall-inspired treat.
Extra Creamy Icing:
Add 1-2 tablespoons heavy cream to the cream cheese icing for a smoother texture.
Fruit-Infused:
Add a thin layer of apple or pear slices between the rolls before baking for a fruity twist.
Tips for the Best Cinnamon Rolls:
Use Warm Butter: This helps the cinnamon-sugar mixture spread more easily.
✔ Don’t Overbake: Check at 15 minutes—overbaking can dry out the rolls.
✔ Icing Tip: Spread the icing while the rolls are still warm for the perfect melt-in glaze.
✔ Make-Ahead Option: Assemble the rolls the night before, cover with plastic wrap, and bake fresh in the morning.
✔ Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days at room temperature or 5 days in the fridge.
