Ingredients
Scale
- 12-count Hawaiian Sweet Rolls, 1 pack
- Cream Cheese, 8 ounces, softened
- Granulated Sugar, 1/4 cup
- Vanilla Extract, 1 teaspoon
- Cherry Pie Filling, 1 cup
- Unsalted Butter, 2 tablespoons, melted
- Egg, 1, beaten (optional, for egg wash)
- Powdered Sugar, 1/2 cup
- Milk, 1 to 2 tablespoons (to thin glaze)
Instructions
- Preheat Your Equipment: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13-inch baking dish with parchment paper.
- Combine Ingredients: In a medium bowl, beat 8 ounces softened cream cheese with 1/4 cup granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth and fluffy.
- Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: Using a serrated knife, slice the 12-count Hawaiian roll pack horizontally, keeping the rolls connected. Place the bottom half of the rolls in the prepared baking dish.
- Assemble the Dish: Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the bottom layer of rolls. Spoon 1 cup cherry pie filling evenly on top of the cream cheese layer. Gently place the top half of the rolls back over the filling.
- Cook to Perfection: Brush the top of the rolls with 2 tablespoons melted butter and, if using, a light coating of the beaten egg for shine. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 18 minutes, until the tops are golden brown.
- Finishing Touches: While the sliders cool for 3 to 5 minutes, whisk 1/2 cup powdered sugar with 1 to 2 tablespoons milk until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the warm sliders so it seeps slightly into the bread.
- Serve and Enjoy: Slice into individual sliders and serve warm. Pair with coffee or tea and garnish with fresh cherries or mint if desired.
Notes
- Use room temperature cream cheese for a lump-free filling.
- Do not overfill with cherry filling to prevent soggy bottoms.
- Assemble the night before and refrigerate, then bake fresh in the morning for best results.
- Let sliders cool a few minutes before glazing to avoid a runny glaze.
