How to Make This:
Ingredients:
12 Kings Hawaiian Rolls
Brummel and Brown 10 Tbsp- divided
3 Tbsp Lakanto golden
1 Tbsp ground cinnamon
1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
8 ounces Light Cream Cheese, softened to room temp

Separate the rolls and place them in the baking pan.
Gently cut an ‘X’ into the center of the top of each roll.
Push into the ‘X’ to open the roll slightly, using something like the handle of a wooden spoon. Do not push all the way to the bottom.
In a small bowl add ½ cup melted butter spread, Lakanto golden, nutmeg and cinnamon. Stir until the mix is smooth and combined.
Baste tops and inside of rolls.
In another small bowl, add cream cheese, egg, Lakanto classic, and almond extract, and mix until well combined and smooth.
Transfer to a piping bag (or a ziplock bag) and cut the tip off.
Pip in about 2-3 Tbsp of cream cheese filling into the rolls.
Bake the rolls, uncovered at 375°F for 12 to 15 minutes.
Enjoy!
