Hawaiian Roll Cheese Danish – a quick and easy cheese Danish, made with Hawaiian rolls from the store!
Kal, my fiance, loves cheese danishes. If we go to Starbucks, which is rare because we’re cheap LOL, he’ll likely order just a cheese Danish. No coffee or anything, just the cheese Danish.
Our 7-year anniversary is this week, so I thought I’d make him a little something in the kitchen. I was already in the kitchen experimenting with Thanksgiving recipes when I remembered I had seen a recipe for cheesecake Danishes using these rolls.
I couldn’t for the life of me find that recipe, so I just went with what I knew about baking, started whipping it up in the kitchen, and did my best to mimic the flavor of a cheese Danish.
I’m not sure if this is close to the recipe I had seen all that time ago, but it’s probably better because these are to die for!
The rolls get crispy and the sweet creamy inside ties the whole thing together, you’ll be trying to eat em all up and wishing you didn’t have to share!
