Description
Resurrection Rolls are a delightful and fun treat featuring gooey marshmallows wrapped in cinnamon sugar-coated crescent roll dough. When baked, the marshmallow melts inside, leaving an empty ‘resurrected’ space, making this recipe perfect for Easter or any festive occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
For the Rolls
- Cooking spray, for greasing
- 1/4 cup (50 g) granulated sugar
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 (8-oz) tube crescent rolls (8 triangles)
- 8 marshmallows
For Coating
- Butter, for dipping marshmallows and crescent balls (approximately 2 tbsp)
Instructions
- Preheat and prepare pan. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease an 8-inch round cake pan with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Mix the cinnamon sugar. In a small bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon until well combined to create the cinnamon sugar coating.
- Prepare crescent dough. Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into 8 individual triangles as per package instructions.
- Coat marshmallows and seal in dough. Dip each marshmallow into melted butter, then roll it in the cinnamon sugar mixture until fully coated. Place the coated marshmallow on the wide end of a crescent triangle and roll it up, pinching the edges of the dough firmly around the marshmallow to seal completely. Gently roll the sealed dough between your hands to form a tight ball around the marshmallow.
- Coat the dough balls. Dip each dough-sealed marshmallow ball into melted butter again, then toss in the cinnamon sugar to coat the outside of the roll.
- Arrange and bake. Place each cinnamon sugar-coated roll ball in the prepared cake pan, spacing them evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and feel firm to the touch.
- Cool and serve. Allow the rolls to cool slightly before serving, so the marshmallow inside turns into a gooey, delicious surprise when bitten into.
Notes
- You can use flavored marshmallows or add a pinch of nutmeg to the cinnamon sugar for extra flavor.
- Ensure you pinch the dough tightly to prevent any marshmallow from leaking out during baking.
- These treats are best served warm for the gooey center.
- If you want a more buttery finish, brush rolls with additional melted butter right after baking.
- Use a silicone brush for an even butter coating on marshmallows and dough balls.
- This recipe can be doubled easily for bigger batches.
