Ingredients

1 package King's Hawaiian original sweet rolls
6 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
¼ cup white or light brown sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Cream Cheese Icing

4 ounces cream cheese softened
¾ cup powdered sugar
3 tablespoons butter at room temperature
½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Bake Rolls

Pre heat oven to 350° F. Lightly spray a baking pan (large enough to fit one package of Hawaiian rolls) with cooking spray and set aside.
Cut each roll about 1 inch deep in one direction, then rotate 90 degrees and cut in the opposite direction (see photos for reference). Transfer the rolls into the prepared baking pan.
Mix melted butter, sugar and ground cinnamon in a small bowl.
Using a small spoon, carefully drizzle the cinnamon butter into each cut opening, making sure to distribute it evenly across all the rolls until the mixture is used up.
Bake for about 15 to 19 minutes, until the top looks golden brown. Remove from the oven and transfer to a wire rack to cool slightly.

Make icing

Add all the icing ingredients into a bowl and beat with an electric beater for about one minute. Alternatively, whisk the frosting by hand.
Spread the frosting over the warm rolls and enjoy!

Notes

Use as much or as little icing as desired. For a more indulgent touch, feel free to cover the entire top with icing, just like a classic cinnamon roll.

It is best enjoyed warm.
