Just made these with regular ingredients that I had. They are wonderful! I highly recommended this recipe.
Thank you so much!!! Happy you enjoyed them! There will be a new slider recipe coming soon too!
I made these delicious pieces of Heaven, but with dairy (not the dairy free version) and I had to actively stop myself from eating the entire batch. My family who aren’t gluten free LOVED them and are anxiously awaiting when I will make more.
Yay!! so happy you and your family loved it!
I’ve tried many of The Salty Cooker recipes by Danielle. One of my favorites are Cheesecake Sliders. I made two batches for a family picnic: some were topped with blueberry pie filling; others with cherry pie filling.
Love the creativity of using Hawaiian sweet rolls as the base. What could be easier than that? This recipe is so delicious! I dare you to find any cheesecake recipe that could even compare to these cheesecake sliders!
Thank you Donna!!!
I have made these 4 times in the last 4 months and they are amazing! My family and friends who can eat gluten absolutely love when I make these. I use dairy in mine because I am not dairy free FYI. I was missing danishes so much until I found this recipe on Instagram and the best part is how easy they are to make!
I love this!!!
