Description
Delicious Hawaiian Roll Cinnamon Rolls topped with cream cheese frosting, perfect for mornings or gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (12-count) package Hawaiian rolls
- ½ cup softened salted butter
- ⅔ cup brown sugar (light or dark)
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- ⅙ teaspoon salt
- 2 ounces softened cream cheese (for frosting)
- 1 tablespoon softened salted butter (for frosting)
- 1 cup powdered sugar (for frosting)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for frosting)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prep Pan: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). While it is heating, grab your baking dish and set it aside.
- Slice Hawaiian Rolls: Carefully slice the Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally, creating two layers. Place the bottom halves in your baking dish, cut side up.
- Make Cinnamon Spread: In a medium bowl, combine the softened butter, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Mix until you have a smooth paste.
- Spread the Mixture: Using a spatula or a knife, spread the cinnamon mixture evenly over the bottom halves of the rolls. Be generous with the mixture to ensure all areas are covered.
- Replace Top Halves: Gently place the top halves of the rolls back onto the bottom halves, creating a complete set of rolls again.
- Bake the Rolls: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 10-15 minutes or until the rolls are heated through and somewhat golden on top.
- Prepare the Frosting: While the rolls are baking, prepare the frosting by beating together the softened cream cheese, the extra softened butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a bowl until it’s smooth and creamy.
- Frost the Rolls: Once the rolls are out of the oven, immediately spread the frosting on top while they are still warm. This will help the frosting melt into the rolls for a tasty treat.
- Serve: Slice the rolls apart if desired, and serve warm. Enjoy the delicious Hawaiian Roll Cinnamon Rolls with your favorite hot beverage or share them at your next gathering.
