Best Ever- Homemade Orange Rolls

Ok, seriously... this is the best breakfast/dessert combo I have ever made. No lie. Mr. Dubs is a mega fan of Orange Rolls and I am a mega fan of Paula Dean. While watching one of her shows (the only show I have set to record- I know I'm pathetic) she featured these amazing Homemade Orange Rolls.  Of course I grab my notebook and start jotting down all of the ingredients and key baking steps. 

Last night before I cooked dinner I decide to make them for dessert. It was more of "in case they don't turn out I would hate to serve them for breakfast" attempt. It's always better to practice something before you serve it to others. Don't ya think? 

So without further ado, I present to you the BEST EVER Homemade Orange Rolls.  They are probably one of the easiest things I have ever baked and they rank in the top 3 for taste! Just picture the most amazing food you have ever eaten and times it by 10 100! That's how great these are (and I am NOT a fan of orange rolls).  The best part is that they are small and easy to serve. It's like pull apart bread. They are just perfect for little ones. 

And because I like visuals... 

What you Need: 

1 Can of Butter Milk Jumbo Biscuits (8 count) 

2-3 tbsp of melted butter

2 Medium size oranges (used for zest & juice)

1/3 Cup Sugar

1/3 Cup Powdered Sugar

1/2 block of Original Cream Cheese (do not use the low-fat)

Optional: 1/4 cup walnuts

PREHEAT: 350*

1- Grease a round baking pan and place 1 jumbo biscuit in the center. 

2- Slice all 7 remaining biscuits in half. Put them in the pan around the center one to make a flower design. You will need to squish them close together to make them all fit.  *Spoon your melted butter over the biscuits just to give them a little glaze.

3- Zest two oranges (though I used a zester, I have been known in the past to use a cheese grater. It works just the same. You should end up with about 2 tbsp of Orange zest. 

4- Mix together your 1/3 cup sugar, 2 tbsp orange zest and add your walnuts if you choose. Otherwise, the sugar and the zest it all you need. 

5- Sprinkle your mix over the biscuits and bake for 20 mins at 350*. 

6- Mix together your 1/3 cup Powdered Sugar and your 1/2 block cream cheese.  Squeeze 1/2 of an orange into the mixture to give it a light orange flavor. -OH SO GOOD-

*You can put the cream cheese in the microwave to soften.  It really doesn't matter how soft it gets.

7- Take out of oven

8- Spread your icing over the rolls when they come out of the oven. 

9- Serve with left over orange slices for breakfast or as a dessert. 

When you make them (because I know you can resist) let me know just how much you loved them!
