Ingredients

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 350°F. Grease 10 regular-size muffin cups with shortening or cooking spray.
  • 2
    In medium bowl, beat cream cheese with electric mixer on medium speed until smooth. Add powdered sugar; beat until smooth. Beat in vanilla and cinnamon. Stir in carrots, 1 tablespoon of the pecans and the raisins until just combined.
  • 3
    Separate dough into 5 rolls; set icing aside. Unroll each roll into strip. Cut each strip in half to make 10 strips.
  • 4
    Coil and firmly press strip into bottom and side of each muffin cup.
  • 5
    Fill each cup with about 1 rounded tablespoon cream cheese filling, pressing filling slightly into each cup.
  • 6
    Bake 18 to 20 minutes or until rolls are baked through and golden brown. Cool 2 minutes in pan, then transfer to cooling rack. Top each roll with about 1/2 teaspoon of the chopped pecans.
  • 7
    In small microwavable bowl, microwave icing uncovered on High 8 to 10 seconds or until thin enough to drizzle. Drizzle over warm rolls. Cool 10 minutes before serving.
