Marscarpone-Cranberry-Walnut Sweet Rolls

Rolls

1/4 cup sweetened dried cranberries, coarsely chopped
1/3 cup chopped Walnuts
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 can (12 oz) buttermilk biscuits (10 biscuits)
1/2 cup mascarpone cheese or cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup butter, melted

Glaze

1 tablespoon mascarpone cheese or cream cheese, softened
1 powdered sugar
1 to 2 tablespoons milk

Directions: Heat oven to 350°F. Lightly spray 8- or 9-inch round cake pan with no-stick spray.

In small bowl, mix cranberries and walnuts; set aside. In another small bowl, mix granulated sugar and cinnamon; set aside.

Separate dough into 10 biscuits; press each biscuit into 3-inch round. Place heaping 1 teaspoon of the mascarpone cheese on center of each biscuit. Bring all sides of dough up over filling, stretching gently if necessary, and gather in center above filling to form a ball; firmly pinch edges to seal. Roll each biscuit in melted butter, then roll in sugar-cinnamon mixture. Place 1 biscuit in center of pan. Arrange remaining biscuits, seam sides down and sides touching, in circle around center biscuit. Pour remaining butter over biscuits; sprinkle with remaining sugar-cinnamon mixture.

Reserve 1/4 cup cranberry-walnut mixture; sprinkle remaining mixture over biscuits.

Bake 28 to 33 minutes or until biscuits are golden brown. Place heatproof serving plate upside down on pan; carefully turn plate and pan over. Let stand 1 minute, then carefully remove pan.

Sprinkle reserved cranberry-walnut mixture over coffee cake. In medium bowl, stir glaze ingredients until smooth. Drizzle glaze over top of rolls. Serve warm
