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 arrange the King’s Hawaiian Sweet Rolls in a grid pattern.
In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon. Stir until smooth.
Spoon the cinnamon mixture over the rolls, ensuring each roll is evenly coated.
Bake the rolls for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and the sugar mixture is bubbling.
While the rolls are baking, prepare the icing by mixing the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a separate small bowl until smooth.
Once the rolls are done, remove them from the oven and drizzle the cream cheese icing over the top while still warm.

Notes

Use fresh King’s Hawaiian rolls for the best results.
Avoid overbaking the rolls to ensure they stay soft and gooey inside.
You can prepare the rolls the night before and refrigerate them overnight; bake them the next morning for an easy breakfast.
If you prefer a sweeter icing, adjust the amount of powdered sugar or add a little milk to achieve your desired consistency.
For a fun twist, add chopped nuts or a drizzle of caramel sauce on top of the icing.
