Cuisine: Fusion
Serves: 8 rolls
Ingredients
- 1 package refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1/2 cup macadamia nuts, chopped
- 1 cup fresh mango, diced
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the rolls.
- Open the package of refrigerated crescent roll dough and carefully unroll it on a clean, flat surface. Make sure to keep the dough in one large rectangle, pressing any seams together if necessary.
- In a small bowl, combine the chopped macadamia nuts, diced fresh mango, cinnamon, and half of the caramel sauce. Mix well until the ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Spread the melted butter evenly over the surface of the crescent roll dough using a pastry brush or the back of a spoon.
- Evenly distribute the mango and macadamia mixture over the buttered dough, leaving a small border around the edges to prevent spillage when rolling.
- Starting from one end, carefully roll the dough into a tight log shape, ensuring the filling stays inside as you roll.
- Once rolled, slice the log into 8 equal pieces, about 1 to
- 5 inches thick. Place the rolls cut side up in a greased baking dish.
- Drizzle the remaining caramel sauce over the top of the rolls, ensuring each roll gets a bit of the sauce.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and the caramel is bubbling.
- Once baked, remove the rolls from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes. Serve warm, drizzled with any extra caramel sauce if desired.
Tips
- Ensure your crescent roll dough is at room temperature for easier handling and rolling.
- Chop macadamia nuts finely to distribute flavor evenly and prevent large chunks.
- Use ripe, sweet mangoes for the most intense flavor and natural sweetness.
- Don't overfill the rolls to prevent spillage during baking.
- Use a sharp knife to cut clean, even roll slices.
- Line your baking dish with parchment paper for easy cleanup and preventing sticking.
- Let the rolls cool slightly before serving to allow the caramel to set and prevent burning your mouth.
- For extra indulgence, serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
