Resurrection Rolls Recipe
Introduction
Resurrection Rolls are a fun and delicious treat that combines the sweetness of cinnamon sugar with gooey marshmallow centers wrapped in flaky crescent dough. This simple recipe is perfect for sharing with family and friends, especially around Easter or any cozy gathering.
Ingredients
- Cooking spray
- 1/4 cup (50 g) granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 (8-oz.) tube crescent rolls
- 8 marshmallows
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8-inch round cake pan with cooking spray. In a small bowl, whisk together the sugar and cinnamon. Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into 8 triangles.
- Step 2: Dip each marshmallow into the melted butter, then roll it in the cinnamon sugar mixture to coat. Place the marshmallow inside a crescent triangle and roll it up, sealing the edges by pinching the dough together. Gently roll the shaped dough between your hands to form a tight ball around the marshmallow.
- Step 3: Dip each crescent roll ball into the melted butter again, then toss in the cinnamon sugar mixture. Arrange the rolls in the prepared pan, spacing them slightly apart. Repeat with the remaining marshmallows and dough pieces.
- Step 4: Bake the rolls for 18 to 20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and feel firm to the touch. Allow them to cool slightly before serving so the melted marshmallow inside sets a bit.
Tips & Variations
- Use flavored marshmallows like strawberry or vanilla for a twist on the classic flavor.
- Brush the crescent rolls with additional melted butter before baking for extra richness.
- Serve with a drizzle of chocolate or caramel sauce to enhance the sweetness.
Storage
Store leftover rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, refrigerate for up to 4 days and warm in the oven at 300°F (150°C) for 5–7 minutes before serving. These rolls are best enjoyed warm to keep the marshmallow gooey.
How to Serve
Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.
FAQs
Can I use a different type of dough instead of crescent rolls?
Yes, puff pastry can be used as an alternative, but crescent rolls provide the best texture and ease of use for this recipe.
What if the marshmallow melts out during baking?
Make sure to seal the edges of the dough tightly around the marshmallow to prevent leakage. Rolling the dough into a ball helps secure the marshmallow inside while baking.
