Instructions

Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and grease a 9×13 inch baking dish to prevent sticking during baking.
Prepare the Rolls: Place the King’s Hawaiian rolls in the greased baking dish. Using a sharp knife, carefully cut a small square into the top of each roll, then gently pull out some of the bread from inside to create a cavity, being careful not to cut through the bottom.
Make Cinnamon Butter Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon. Stir well until fully mixed to create a cinnamon sugar butter glaze.
Brush Rolls: Generously brush the cinnamon butter mixture over the tops and inside the cavities of each hollowed roll, ensuring an even and flavorful coating.
Prepare Cream Cheese Filling: In a mixing bowl, use a hand mixer to beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add granulated sugar and the egg, then continue mixing until the mixture is well combined and smooth.
Fill Rolls: Carefully spoon or pipe the cream cheese filling into each roll cavity, making sure each roll is generously filled without overflowing.
Bake Rolls: Place the filled rolls in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 15 minutes, or until the tops turn golden brown and the cream cheese filling is set.
Cool and Serve: Remove the rolls from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before slicing into individual portions. Serve warm for the best creamy and soft texture experience.

Notes

Do not cut through the bottom of the rolls when hollowing them out to keep the filling inside.
Use softened cream cheese for easier mixing and smoother filling.
Ensure the butter mixture is brushed inside the hollow to infuse maximum flavor.
Serve these rolls warm to enjoy the best texture and flavor.
Can be stored in an airtight container and gently reheated before serving.
