Lemon Cheesecake Crème Brulée "Donuts"

Ingredients
1 (12 count) package Hawaiian rolls, such as King’s® Original Hawaiian Sweet Rolls, separated
4 tablespoons butter, melted
1 1/2 cups cheesecake filling, such as Philadelphia® Cheesecake No Bake Filling
1/4 cup lemon curd
1 lemon, zested
1 cup sugar
1/3 cup water

1. Gather the ingredients. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking dish with parchment. Brush rolls with melted butter and bake for 5 minutes until toasted.
2. Mix cheesecake filling, lemon curd, and lemon zest. Transfer to a piping bag, cut holes in the rolls, and fill with the mixture. Return to the baking dish.
3. Simmer sugar and water until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Dip roll tops in the sugar mixture and place on a rack. Grate lemon zest over rolls and let cool until hardened, 10 to 15 minutes. Reheat the sugar mixture if needed.

I am passionate about baking, volunteering for local charities and love tending to my garden.
