– Place the top half of the rolls onto the cheesecake layer, pressing down gently.
5. Bake:
– Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheesecake is set and the tops of the rolls are lightly golden.
6. Prepare the Pineapple Glaze:
– While the danish bakes, whisk together the powdered sugar, pineapple juice, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth.
7. Finish the Danish:
