A simple Mini Dessert perfect for 2 or 20!

Let’s face it. Whether you are cooking for two or two dozen this holiday season, chances are you have extra cans of crescent rolls in the refrigerator ‘just in case’! Turn one of those emergency carb-bombs into these bite-sized Orange Cranberry Mini Sweet Rolls with a little help from one of my previous recipes!

Quick tips for cooking for two:

One of my biggest tips when cooking for two is to maximize your ingredients by using them in multiple dishes. In this case, I turned the fruit leftover from making a cranberry simple syrup used in my Cranberry Apple Cider Fizz mocktail as the filling for these mini sweet rolls. Makes this feel less like a ‘recipe’ and more like a happy accident! Plus you have a festive beverage to sip on while you devour these small bites.

The only component I made specifically for this dish is the orange glaze that’s drizzled over the top of the Orange Cranberry Mini Sweet Rolls. The glaze is simply confectioners sugar mixed with a squeeze of fresh orange juice. Another tip I have is to sprinkle your baking dish with regular granulated sugar after you butter it. This gives the bottom of the sweet rolls a crispy sweet texture!

Side note: One can of dough makes 16 mini sweet rolls. I’ve got a double batch pictured above.

Notes

Home Chef Tip: If you are unable to find the sheets of crescent dough in a can, use the rolls. Simply pinch the edges together to form a full sheet, then continue recipe as written.
