Maple cream coffee treat

20 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1 cup Firmly packed brown sugar
¼ cup Chopped nuts
⅓ cup Maple-flavored syrup (or dark corn syrup, in a pinch)
¼ cup Melted butter
1 pack (8 oz.) cream cheese; softened
¼ cup Powdered sugar
2 tablespoons Butter; softened
½ cup Coconut
2 cans (12 oz.) refrigerated flaky biscuits

Directions

These aren't coffee flavored, they're like little individual coffee cakes.

If you have an espresso habit, these are the perfect accompaniment. Again, these are from the Best of the Pillsbury Bake-Off cookbook. The type of nut isn't specified in the recipe, but I like to use walnuts. I tried almonds once, but they didn't taste quite right, almost like they were too cooked.

But maybe I did something wrong- sliced the almonds incorrectly or something. :) I bet most of you folks could make it with almonds, and it would still be heavenly.

1. Heat oven to 350. In ungreased 13x9-inch pan, combine brown sugar, nuts, syrup and ¼ cup butter; spread evenly in bottom of pan. In small bowl, blend cream cheese, powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons butter until smooth; stir in coconut.

2. Separate dough into 20 biscuits. Press or roll each to a 4-inch circle.

Spoon 1 tablespoon of cream cheese mixture down center of each circle to within ¼ inch of edge. Overlap sides of dough over filling, forming finger-shaped rolls. Arrange rolls seam side down in 2 rows of 10 rolls each over brown sugar mixture in pan.

3. Bake at 350 for 25 to 30 minutes or until deep golden brown. Cool 3 to 5 minutes; invert onto foil, waxed paper or serving platter.
