Ingredients

Cinnamon Rolls

  • 12 King's Hawaiian Original Sweet Rolls - cut in half
  • 2/3 Cup Softened Butter
  • 1/4 Cup Dark Brown Sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon Ground Cinnamon

Glaze

  • 4 ounces Softened Cream Cheese
  • 1/2 Cup Whipping Cream
  • 1/2 Cup Powdered Sugar

Instructions

Cinnamon Rolls

  • Preheat oven to 350°
  • Mix butter, brown sugar and cinnamon. Spread 1 Tablespoon of butter mixture on bottom of 8x8 glass baking dish. Slice Hawaiian rolls in half, spread a generous amount of butter on the inside of rolls (use 1/2 of butter mixture inside rolls). Place rolls back together and transfer to baking dish. Spread remaining butter mixture over the top. Make sure to spread onto sides and in the gaps. Bake for 12-13 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes. Glaze and serve.

Glaze

  • Mix cream cheese, cream and powdered sugar. This yields 1½ cups for a heavy glaze. If you prefer lightly glazed rolls, decrease glaze measurements by half.

Notes

*add nuts for a little crunch
