Ingredients:
- 1 package (12 oz) King’s Hawaiian Sweet Rolls
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions:
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Prepare the Baking Dish: Grease a 9×9-inch baking dish. Arrange the King’s Hawaiian Sweet Rolls in the dish in a grid pattern.
- Make the Cinnamon Mixture: In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon together. Spoon the cinnamon mixture over the rolls, ensuring that each roll is evenly coated.
- Bake: Bake the rolls for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and the sugar mixture is bubbling around the edges.
- Make the Icing: While the rolls are baking, prepare the icing by mixing softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a small bowl. Stir until smooth and creamy.
- Finish: Once the rolls are baked, remove them from the oven and drizzle the cream cheese icing over the top while they are still warm. Serve immediately.

Variations:
- Nutty Cinnamon Rolls: Add chopped pecans or walnuts to the cinnamon sugar mixture before baking for an extra crunch.
- Caramelized Cinnamon Rolls: Drizzle caramel sauce over the rolls after baking for a rich, sweet topping.
- Fruit Twist: Add fresh berries (like raspberries or blueberries) on top of the rolls before baking for a fruity version.
- Spiced Cinnamon Rolls: Experiment with different spices like nutmeg or cardamom to give the cinnamon rolls a different flavor profile.
Tips:
- Make Ahead: You can prepare the rolls and cinnamon mixture ahead of time and refrigerate them. Bake when you’re ready to serve.
- Icing Variation: Use mascarpone cheese in place of cream cheese for a richer, creamier icing.
- Don’t Overbake: Be sure to check the rolls near the 15-minute mark to prevent overbaking. You want them golden but soft in the center.
