Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 12 Kings Hawaiian Original Hawaiian Sweet Rolls (1 pack)
- 45 fresh strawberries, sliced
- 6 ounces (170 grams) cream cheese, room temperature
- 23 graham crackers, crushed
Cream and Sweeteners:
- 1/2 cup (120 grams) heavy whipping cream, chilled
- 1/4 cup (55 grams) sugar
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 4 tablespoons strawberry jam
Flavor and Stabilizing Ingredients:
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 12 tablespoons lemon juice (to taste)
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
Instructions
- Whip heavy cream, sugar, vanilla, salt, and lemon juice until it develops a velvety, slightly thickened consistency.
- Gently fold in cream cheese, whisking carefully to maintain a smooth, luxurious texture without overworking the mixture.
- Transfer the delicate filling into a piping bag fitted with a round tip for precise application.
- Delicately create a hidden pocket inside each soft bun using a small, sharp knife, being careful not to puncture the exterior.
- Precisely pipe the creamy cheesecake filling into each bun, ensuring an even and generous distribution.
- Tidy up any stray filling and temporarily refrigerate the stuffed buns.
- In a small saucepan, combine strawberry jam, water, sugar, and cornstarch, creating a vibrant glaze mixture.
- Simmer the glaze over low heat, stirring constantly until it transforms into a glossy, thickened sauce.
- Remove from heat and allow the glaze to cool and slightly set, maintaining its rich, glossy appearance.
- Carefully immerse the top of each bun into the strawberry glaze, allowing excess to drip off gracefully.
- Arrange the glazed buns on a wire rack to set, creating a beautiful, uniform finish.
- Optionally, garnish with crushed graham crackers and fresh strawberry slices for an elegant, artistic touch.
Notes
- Select full-fat cream cheese at room temperature for smoothest, most luxurious filling texture.
- Use soft, fresh bakery buns with slight sweetness to complement strawberry glaze perfectly.
- Gently handle buns when creating filling pocket to prevent tearing or breaking delicate bread structure.
- Ensure cornstarch is fully dissolved in strawberry glaze to prevent lumpy, uneven coating.
