Treat yourself to a sweet escape with Kings Hawaiian Cheesecake Danish—fluffy, creamy, and undeniably delicious for any occasion! This decadent dessert combines the rich, luscious flavor of cheesecake with the soft, pillowy goodness of Kings Hawaiian bread, perfect for brunch or any gathering.


Ingredients

Scale

Kings Hawaiian Sweet Bread

  • 1 loaf, thickly sliced

Cream Cheese Filling

  • 8 oz cream cheese
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 egg

Finishing Touches

  • Powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, blend the cream cheese, sugar, vanilla extract, and egg until smooth and creamy. This will be the luscious filling that you can’t resist!
  2. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s ready when it’s time to bake the Danish.
  3. Assemble the Danish: Cut the Kings Hawaiian bread into thick slices and lay them out flat. Spoon a generous amount of the cream cheese filling onto each piece and then fold or twist them into a Danish shape if desired.
  4. Bake: Place the assembled Danish on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for approximately 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
  5. Add Finishing Touches: Once baked, remove the Danish from the oven and allow them to cool slightly. Then, dust with powdered sugar for that final touch of sweetness!

Notes

  • Room Temperature Ingredients: Bringing cream cheese and egg to room temperature helps create a smoother filling.
  • Don’t Overmix: Mix the filling until just combined to maintain a light and airy texture.
  • Watch the Baking Time: Every oven is different, so keep an eye on the Danish to avoid over-baking.
  • Use Parchment Paper: Lining the baking sheet with parchment prevents sticking and makes for easy cleanup.
  • Let Them Cool: Allowing the Danish to cool helps set the filling and enhances the flavors.
