Step-by-Step Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F to ensure it is ready for baking by the time you have prepared your rolls.
Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent the rolls from sticking and to make them easier to remove after baking.
Place all 12 King’s Hawaiian rolls in the greased baking dish, leaving a little space between each roll for even cooking.
Cut a shallow 1-inch square into the top of each roll and gently remove the center piece, creating a small well in each roll. This step is crucial for filling the rolls with the cream cheese mixture.
Combine the melted butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a bowl and brush this mixture generously over the tops and inside the wells of each roll. This will give your rolls a rich, sweet flavor and a lovely golden brown color.
Beat the softened cream cheese until it is smooth and creamy. Add the granulated sugar and egg to the cream cheese and beat until well combined and creamy. This filling is the heart of your cinnamon rolls, so make sure it is smooth and well mixed.
Fill each hollowed roll with the cream cheese mixture, making sure to fill them as generously as possible without overflowing.
Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and the filling is set. Keep an eye on them to avoid overcooking.
Let the rolls cool for 5 minutes before serving. They are best served warm, straight from the oven.
