Bourbon Pecan Cream Crescent Rolls - great for breakfast, dessert or snack. Vegan, dairy-free, no refined sugars, full of decadent goodness.
Do you believe in signs? I do. Well, sometimes. Actually, I only believe in them when it's convenient, to be quite honest. Like, when someone gives you a beautiful bottle of delicious bourbon, a couple of weeks before Thanksgiving.
Any normal person would most likely save it to share with their guests. Food geeks such as ourselves? Immediately see it as a sign.
Let's see... Bourbon... Thanksgiving... This has dessert written all over, does it not??
Last year we slam dunked it with a super decadent, super nutty vegan Maple Bourbon Pecan Pie. That pecan/maple/bourbon combo is just out of this world, so we HAD TO use it again, somehow. This year, however, we're doing it in a slighter easier/smarter/budget friendlier way: with a super simple bourbon-spiked pecan cream and store-bought crescent rolls.
Quick: you can prepare the filling ahead of time,
Easy: all you need is a food processor and an oven (and most importantly, you won't have to sell your left kidney to afford those pecans.)
Just a warning though: you may want to have a few extra tubes of rolls in hand because they will be devoured the second they come out of the oven 🙂
Enjoy!
