I stole this recipe for King’s Hawaiian Cheesecake Danish from callmepmc.com. This yummy recipe is a perfect holiday breakfast or brunch treat. Hawaiian sweet rolls are placed in a baking dish and an x is cut in the center of each roll. Then melted butter, brown sugar, nutmeg and cinnamon are mixed together and poured over the rolls. Next softened cream cheese is mixed with sugar and a beaten egg, then piped into the cavity of the rolls. The rolls are baked until the cream cheese is set. These delicious Danishes are easy to make because they use Hawaiian sweet rolls instead of pastry dough.
