Ingredients

Scale

Rolls and Filling

  • 12 rolls Hawaiian Sweet Rolls (Soft and sweet, providing the perfect base.)
  • 8 oz Cream Cheese (Rich and creamy, essential for the filling.)
  • 14 oz Sweetened Condensed Milk (Adds sweetness; substitute with sugar if needed.)
  • 1 tsp Salt (Enhances flavors; never skip this ingredient.)

Garlic Butter Mixture

  • 4 tbsp Butter (Richness; vegan butter as a dairy-free alternative.)
  • 1 large Egg (Provides structure; omit for egg-free.)
  • 1 cup Milk (Use any milk alternative you prefer.)
  • 4 cloves Garlic (The star flavor; fresh gives an aromatic punch.)
  • 2 tbsp Parsley (Adds color; chives can be used instead.)
  • 1 tsp Paprika (Optional; adds warmth to flavors.)

Topping

  • 1 cup Shredded Parmesan Cheese (Sprinkle for cheesy crunch before baking.)

Instructions

  1. Preparation: Preheat your oven to 350°F (conventional) to get it ready for the magic!
  2. Cut the Rolls: Prepare the Hawaiian rolls by gently cutting each into 8 sections while keeping them intact to hold the filling.
  3. Make the Filling: Mix the cream cheese, sweetened condensed milk, and salt until smooth to create the creamy, sweet filling.
  4. Fill the Rolls: Pipe the cream cheese mixture into each section of the rolls carefully to ensure an even distribution of filling.
  5. Prepare Garlic Butter Mixture: Whisk together butter, egg, milk, sweetened condensed milk, minced garlic, salt, parsley, and paprika in a bowl until well combined.
  6. Dip Rolls: Dip each filled roll into the garlic butter mixture on both sides, ensuring they are fully coated, then place them on a baking sheet.
  7. Add Cheese Topping: Sprinkle the shredded Parmesan cheese generously on top of each dipped roll to add a cheesy, crispy layer after baking.
  8. Bake: Bake the rolls at 350°F for approximately 15 minutes, until they are golden brown and emit an aromatic garlic and cheese fragrance.

Notes

  • The paprika is optional but adds a nice warm flavor and color to the garlic butter mixture.
  • You can use vegan butter and milk alternatives to make this recipe dairy-free.
  • If you want an egg-free version, simply omit the egg in the garlic butter mixture.
  • Using fresh garlic cloves ensures the best aromatic punch, but garlic powder can be used in a pinch.
  • Serve these buns warm for the best flavor and texture experience.
