- 1 egg yolk
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons cinnamon sugar (1 1/2 tablespoons sugar mixed with 1/2 tablespoon cinnamon)

Directions:
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

- Fill Rolls: Spoon or pipe the cream cheese mixture into the pocket of each sweet roll, ensuring they are evenly filled.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the filled rolls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them to allow for expansion during baking.
- Brush and Sprinkle: Brush the tops of the rolls with melted butter, then sprinkle evenly with the cinnamon sugar mixture, adding a delightful sweetness and spice.
- Bake: Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and the filling is set.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the danishes to cool slightly on the baking sheet before carefully transferring them to a serving platter. Dust with powdered sugar for a finishing touch.
- Enjoy: Serve these warm and inviting King’s Hawaiian Cheesecake Danishes as a decadent breakfast treat or a delightful dessert, perfect for any occasion.
