Ingredients

Scale

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

Instructions

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.

Notes

Don’t overbake the rolls. Keep an eye on them after 15 minutes to avoid overbrowning.
Use room temperature ingredients for the icing, especially the cream cheese, to get a smooth texture.
Feel free to sprinkle chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts for added crunch and flavor.
This recipe works wonderfully as a brunch centerpiece or a sweet treat to share with friends and family.
