Ingredients
Base
- 1 package King's Hawaiian Original Sweet Rolls (12 count)
Cheesecake Filling
- 16 ounces cream cheese softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract for filling
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream or half of 16 oz store-bought whipped topping
- 1 pint fresh strawberries quartered, for filling
Whipped Topping & Decoration
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream or other half of 16 oz store-bought whipped topping
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract for topping
- 0.25 cup powdered sugar
- 1 pint fresh strawberries sliced, for topping
- 1 pint fresh blueberries
Instructions
- Gently slice the King's Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally, being careful to keep them intact. Set the top halves aside for later.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until it's smooth and fluffy. Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and the ½ cup granulated sugar, continuing to beat until everything is well blended.
- If using heavy whipping cream for the filling, whip 1 cup until stiff peaks form. Gently fold this whipped cream (or half of your store-bought whipped topping) into the cream cheese mixture until just combined.
- Spread about two-thirds of this creamy cheesecake mixture evenly over the bottom halves of the rolls.
- Lightly press the 1 pint of quartered strawberries into the cheesecake layer.
- Carefully spread the remaining cheesecake filling over the strawberries.
- Place the top halves of the rolls back over the cheesecake filling.
- If using heavy whipping cream for the topping, whip the remaining 1 cup with ½ teaspoon vanilla extract and ¼ cup powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
- Spread the prepared whipped cream (or the other half of your store-bought whipped topping) evenly over the top of the rolls. You can spread some on the sides if you like!
- Arrange the 1 pint of sliced strawberries and 1 pint of fresh blueberries on top. Get creative with a flag design for a patriotic touch, or simply scatter them beautifully!
- Refrigerate the dessert until you're ready to enjoy.
- For the best taste and texture, chill for at least 30 minutes. If using homemade whipped cream, serve within 2 hours of assembly.
