by


This Denmark King’s Hawaiian Cheesecake is a delightful fusion of creamy, rich cheesecake paired with the soft, sweet flavors of King’s Hawaiian bread. The unique combination creates a luscious dessert with a light, fluffy texture and a buttery, golden crust.

Ingredients

  • 1 package of King’s Hawaiian rolls (12 rolls)
  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • Zest of 1 lemon (optional)
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan and set aside.
  2. Prepare the crust:
  • Tear the King’s Hawaiian rolls into small pieces and pulse them in a food processor until they become fine crumbs.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the bread crumbs with melted butter and mix until it becomes a sandy texture.
  • Press the mixture into the bottom of the springform pan to create the crust. Bake for 8–10 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove and let it cool.
  1. Make the cheesecake filling:
  • In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  • Mix in the vanilla extract, sour cream, and lemon zest (if using) until fully combined.
  1. Assemble the cheesecake:
  • Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled Hawaiian bread crust, spreading it evenly.
  • Smooth the top with a spatula for a uniform surface.
  1. Bake:
  • Place the cheesecake in the preheated oven and bake for 50–60 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is slightly jiggly.
  • Turn off the oven, leaving the cheesecake inside to cool gradually for another hour.
  1. Chill:
  • Once cooled to room temperature, refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours or overnight for the best texture.
  1. Serve:
  • Dust with powdered sugar before serving. Garnish with fresh fruit or a drizzle of caramel if desired.

Enjoy the heavenly fusion of Denmark-inspired flavors with the tropical sweetness of King’s Hawaiian bread in this rich cheesecake!
