Copycat Cinnabon Delights Hawaiian Rolls

Ingredients

• 8 ounces cream cheese
• 0.5 cups confectioners sugar
• 8 tablespoons butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 0.13 teaspoons salt
• 12 sliders rolls
• 0.75 cups white sugar
• 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

1. 1

   Combine cream cheese, confectioner's sugar, 2 tablespoons softened butter, vanilla, lemon juice and salt together in a medium bowl and mix with an electric mixer or whisk until smooth and well blended. Transfer mixture to a resealable plastic bag or piping bag.

2. 2

   Use a paring knife to cut a 1/2-inch slit in one side of each roll. Use a small spoon handle or finger to form a well in the center of each roll through the slit without going all the way through to the other side.

3. 3

   Snip the corner of the plastic bag and fill each roll with cream cheese mixture. It helps to use a small offset spatula or the end of a small spoon to work the mixture in to get an ample amount of filling inside without it oozing out the side.

4. 4

   Melt remaining butter in a small bowl and brush a light coating of butter on each roll.

5. 5

   Preheat an air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) according to manufacturer's instructions. Stir together sugar and cinnamon in a shallow dish.

6. 6

   Working in batches to avoid overcrowding, air fry filled rolls until browned and toasted, about 3 minutes. Immediately coat warm rolls evenly with cinnamon sugar. Brush with more butter if necessary before dipping in cinnamon sugar to help sugar adhere.
