Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 package roll dough 25-ounce, I usually use 18 Rhodes rolls, frozen
  • cooking spray
  • 1/4 cup butter or margarine -- melted
  • 1/2 cup Cranberry such as Craisins, OR 1/2 cup dried apricots -- chopped, sweetened, dried
  • 1 cup granulated sugar divided
  • 2/3 cup cream cheese 6 ounces softened - I usually just use 8 ounces, 1/3 less fat
  • 2 tablespoons orange juice fresh
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon lemon rind grated
  • 1 tablespoon orange rind grated
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 5 teaspoons lemon juice fresh

Instructions

  1. Thaw roll dough at room temperature 30 minutes. (It usually takes much longer for them to be soft enough to cut.)  Preheat oven to 350º.Bake at 350º for 20 minutes. Cover with foil. Bake an additional 5 mintues or until rolls in center are done. Remove from oven; cool 15 minutes. Combine powdered sugar and lemon juice. Drizzle over rolls.
  2. Cut rolls in half. Place 24 halves, cut sides down, in bottom of each of 2 (9-inch) round cake pans coated with cooking spray. Brush butter evenly over rolls. Cover; let rise in a warm place (85º), free from drafts, 30 minutes. Sprinkle with dried cranberries.
  3. Combine 1/4 cup granulated sugar, cream cheese, orange juice, and egg; beat at medium speed of a mixer until well-blended. Pour cream cheese mixture evenly over rolls.
  4. Combine 3/4 cup granulated sugar, and rinds. Sprinkle evenly over rolls. Cover and let rise 1 hour or until doubled in size. (It usually takes much longer to double in size.) 
  5. Preheat oven to 350º.Bake at 350º for 20 minutes. Cover with foil. Bake an additional 5 mintues or until rolls in center are done. Remove from oven; cool 15 minutes. Combine powdered sugar and lemon juice. Drizzle over rolls.
  6. OVERNIGHT VARIATION: After pouring the cream cheese mixture over rolls, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate 12 hours. Gently remove plastic wrap from rolls; sprinkle with rind mixture. Let stand at room temperature 30 minutes or until dough has doubled in size. (It usually takes much longer to double in size.)Proceed with recipe as directed.
