Easiest Most Decadent Dessert of the Year

We ran to Asheville today so no cooking here. We had brunch at Early Girl (http://www.earlygirleatery.com/) so we might not be hungry for a week.

So, I thought this might be a great time to share this incredibly simple, quick and delicious dessert. I hope you enjoy it half as much as we did.

These rolls are so decadent I feel guilty posting, but they are way too good not to share. Maybe you can save them for a day when you are only serving water for supper. Just kidding, but I promise they are worth the calories. If you want to feel better about the splurge just half the recipe, then it will only be half the calories...............

Bavarian Cream Rolls

2 (8 ounce) cans crescent rolls
1 1/2 cups milk
2 cups powdered sugar
1/3 cup butter, melted

1 1/2 tsp vanilla
1 tsp. nutmeg

Leaving dough in roll, cut evenly into 8 rolls from each can, for a total of 16 rolls.
Arrange rolls in oblong pyrex dish (I use an 8x12).
Whisk milk, sugar, and butter, vanilla and nutmeg together well in a 4 cup measuring cup. Pour over rolls.


Bake at 350 until rolls are golden brown, about 25 minutes. Serve warm.

These have infinite possibilities. You could leave out the nutmeg and add cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice. Use apple pie spice and a cup of chopped apples. Cut back on the sugar a tad and add 3 Tbsp. of maple syrup. Peaches could be added for peaches and cream rolls. If I liked blueberries or strawberries (which I don't) I might add a cup. Some chocolate chips over top for chocolate cream rolls. You get the idea......................, share some of yours too.

So, Until Tomorrow..........
