Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Cut a square from the top of each King’s Hawaiian roll to create a cavity for filling.

Combine melted butter, brown sugar, and optional cinnamon in a mixing bowl until smooth.

Brush the tops and insides of the rolls generously with the butter mixture.

In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, then add the room-temperature egg, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract.

Fill each roll's cavity with the cream cheese mixture and top with a spoonful of cherry pie filling.

Bake for approximately 20 minutes until golden brown and filling is set.

Allow to cool before whisking together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla for icing.

Drizzle the icing over the cooled danishes before serving.
