    • Dulce de Leche Sweet Rolls with Candied Pecans and a Coffee Glaze

      Posted at 10:32 am by NativeNM, on December 31, 2022

      As promised I share with you these decadent gooey Dulce de Leche Sweet Rolls! And in every soft layer you will find pieces of candied pecans and topped with a coffee glaze that is out of this world! This has been on my bucket list for the longest time. Dulce de Leche is creamy and tastes similar to caramel sauce, however there are subtle differences between the two. While caramel sauce is made with sugar, water and heavy cream; Dulce de Leche is made with sweetened condensed milk. Caramel sauce only takes a few minutes to make, but it takes a few hours for sweetened condensed milk to simmer into a creamy caramelized sauce aka Dulce de Leche. While I would have loved to make my own Dulce de Leche, I was in a pinch for time and picked up a jar that was ready to go. Sometimes giving yourself a break is a good thing. I did make time to spice up some pecans with some sugar and spice that truly made these rolls special. The inspiration for these rolls and especially the coffee glaze is inspired by Yvette at Muy Bueno Cookbook. From my kitchen to yours, I hope 2023 will be a year filled with good health, happy times and delicious food to be shared with those you love!

    • Lemon Blueberry Sweet Rolls

      Posted at 10:49 am by NativeNM, on January 4, 2022

      It’s that time of year again when I get a craving for sweet rolls. It must be the holidays, the chill in the air and a hot drink that make me desire them so much. I like to make them up ahead and freeze individually so that I can pull one out every so often. I love them with my morning coffee, afternoon tea or generally anytime, which is why I have to put them out of sight in the freezer or I might be tempted to have one every day. This years flavor is lemon blueberry, it’s not overly sweet but has a wonderful blueberry flavor with a citrusy lemon glaze. These two flavors just belong together. And the brioche dough is so light and tender, it practically melts in your mouth.

    • Cranberry Orange Sweet Rolls

      Posted at 11:06 am by NativeNM, on January 5, 2021

      One of my favorite combinations is cranberry and orange.  Let’s face it, these two just belong together, whether it’s scones, muffins, cranberry sauce or cranberry relish.  Cranberries are in season now so if you love this tarty fruit you might want to pick up a bag or two and put in the freezer.  I started freezing them so that I had some to cook with all year long.  I prefer fresh or frozen berries to dried cranberries plus they don’t have the added sugar that dried cranberries do.  Along with antioxidants, they provide many vitamins and minerals that we all need in our daily diet.  I must confess, sweet rolls probably negate all the positives of eating cranberries but after the year we’ve had I’m going to give myself a break and indulge in a few rolls.  The rest can be frozen for up to a couple month’s.  I like to freeze 2 rolls per package and that way I can have a sweet roll now and then.   These rolls are messy and don’t look as perfect as some of my other sweet rolls but the taste is among the best.  For me it always starts with brioche dough, I never waver with any other dough, it’s just that good.  The cranberry orange jam was adapted from “Plated Cravings”.  I had an idea of what the filling should be and this recipe was about as perfect as I could have imagined.  And if that’s not enough I made an orange glaze that soaked into every crack and crevice of these rolls.  I hope you’ll keep these in mind next time you are craving sweet rolls.  They have a festive feel for the holidays but I think they would be perfect any time of year.
