Rejoice! Easter is here — it’s one of my favorite holidays. Yours too? Then you’ll love making all these delicious, Easter dessert recipes too: Easter Nest Almond Ring, Overnight Cinnamon Roll French Toast, and One Hour Cream Cheese Cinnamon Rolls.
Ingredients
Refrigerated croissant rolls — Purchase either two, 12-ounce packages or 8-ounce packages depending on the size of your muffin tin (see note, below) Marshmallows — The marshmallows have to be the big ones here. A bunch of little ones simply won’t work. These are the key in making the empty tomb rolls “empty.” Butter — Any good brand of butter works in this Easter breakfast recipe. I prefer to use unsalted when I bake. Sugar — What rolls are complete without sugar? Use your favorite brand. Cinnamon — Another key to cinnamon rolls is this delicious spice, which, when combined with sugar and butter, just cannot be beat for taste! Cream cheese — Integral to the icing is the softened cream cheese. It makes the icing so rich and creamy, you don’t want to skip this part. Powdered sugar — This kind of sugar makes the icing sweet and completely blends into the cream cheese for a smooth icing consistency. Vanilla extract — I use pure vanilla extract when baking but you can use imitation too. Milk — Milk helps thin the icing out to make it spreadable. Whatever milk you use will work just fine in this Easter dessert recipe.
