Ingredients
Equipment
Steps
- 1
Beat cream cheese with sugar and heavy cream until smooth, then transfer to a piping bag or zip-lock bag with a corner snipped.
- 2
Whisk melted butter with minced garlic, sugar, honey, beaten egg, and parsley until well combined.
- 3
Cut a deep X into the top of each roll without cutting all the way through, then pipe cream cheese filling generously into the center.
- 4
Dip each stuffed roll fully into the garlic butter mixture, turning to coat all sides, and let excess drip off.
- 5
Place rolls in the air fryer basket lined with parchment at 340°F and cook for 10–12 minutes until the tops are golden brown.
- 6
Dust lightly with powdered sugar and serve warm while the cream cheese is still molten.
Tip: Use day-old rolls rather than very fresh ones — they absorb the garlic butter without becoming soggy. The egg in the garlic butter is the Korean bakery secret — it creates that signature glossy, custard-like coating.
