Ingredients
- 1 12-pack King’s Hawaiian Original Sweet Rolls
- CINNAMON BUTTER:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2/3 cup light brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- CREAM CHEESE FROSTING:
- 4 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 tablespoon heavy cream
Method
- Heat the oven to 350°F. Keep the rolls together as one slab on a parchment-lined tray and cut a swirl into each roll about three-quarters of the way down, working from the outside toward the centre without slicing through.
- Whisk the melted butter, brown sugar and cinnamon until the mixture looks like lava, pour it all over the rolls so it seeps into the cuts, and let them soak 10 to 15 minutes.
- Bake the slab for 10 minutes until golden on top and gooey inside.
- While it bakes, beat the cream cheese and butter smooth, then beat in the powdered sugar, vanilla and heavy cream until fluffy.
- Spread the frosting over the warm rolls, or serve it on the side for dipping, and pull the rolls apart at the table.
