Soft and fluffy rolls filled with a creamy cheesecake filling and dipped in a shiny strawberry glaze
Ingredients
- 12 King's Hawaiian Original Hawaiian Sweet Rolls (1 pack)
Cheesecake filling:
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream, chilled (120g)
- 1/4 cup sugar (55g)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1-2 tbsp lemon juice (or to taste)
- 6 oz cream cheese, room temperature (170g)
Strawberry glaze:
- 4 tbsp strawberry jam
- 2 tbsp water
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp cornstarch
Decoration (optional):
- 2-3 Graham crackers and 4-5 strawberries
Instructions
Cheesecake Filling:
- Whisk the heavy cream, sugar, salt, vanilla and lemon juice until the mixture starts to thicken up
- Add the room temperature cream cheese and whisk on low speed until a creamy mixture forms; avoid overmixing. Taste and adjust as needed
- Transfer to a piping bag fit with a round piping tip
Filling the buns:
- Use a small knife to poke a hole into the side of each roll, and create a pocket inside (try to get the pocket as large as you can while keeping the opening as small as you can by rotating the knife from the opening)
- Fill each roll generously with the cheesecake filling (about 25g/roll)
- Clean up the edges and refrigerate while you make the glaze
Strawberry Glaze:
- Stir all ingredients together in a small saucepan
- Cook and stir over low heat until the mixture starts to thicken up
- Remove from heat and let cool down slightly
- Carefully dip the top of each roll into the glaze and shake off the excess. Place onto a wire rack and repeat until all rolls are done
Decoration:
- Optionally, decorate the rolls with sliced strawberries and crushed graham crackers
