If your ideal morning includes a warm, gooey, sweet treat with your coffee, this Maple Cream Coffee Treat is the answer. Pillsbury™ Flaky Layers Buttermilk Biscuits are wrapped around a creamy coconut-maple filling, then baked on top of a rich brown sugar and nut mixture that transforms into a rich, caramelly topping when flipped over. This finalist in the 28th Pillsbury Bake-Off® Contest is a cozy choice for holiday brunches, weekend breakfasts, or anytime you want a bakery-style breakfast pastry without a lot of extra work.

Recipe Ingredients

Make this soft, creamy maple coffee treat with just a few simple ingredients! Here’s what you need.

Pillsbury™ Flaky Layers Buttermilk Biscuits: These bake up golden and create tender, pull-apart layers that absorb all that gooey topping!

Maple-Flavored Syrup (or Dark Corn Syrup): This gives the topping its glossy texture and sweet flavor. The corn syrup won’t have that signature maple flavor, but it will still add dark, sweet richness.

Cream Cheese: This creates a creamy, tangy filling that makes the rolls taste extra delicious.

Other Ingredients You’ll Need: Butter helps the maple cream filling whip up light and spreadable and adds smooth richness to the topping, while brown sugar adds sweet, caramelly flavor. Coconut adds subtle, nutty sweetness and chewy texture, and powdered sugar sweetens the filling while keeping it silky smooth. Chopped nuts add toasty, savory crunch to balance the sweetness.

How to Make Maple Cream Coffee Treat

Here’s a quick look at how this recipe comes together. Keep reading for the full recipe directions!

1. Make the Caramel Base

Combine brown sugar, nuts, syrup, and melted butter in a 13x9 baking dish and spread evenly.

2. Mix the Creamy Filling

Beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and softened butter together until smooth, then stir in coconut.

3. Fill the Biscuits

Separate the dough and press each biscuit into a 4-inch round. Spoon the cream cheese mixture down the center of each round and fold the dough over to form finger-shaped rolls. Place rolls seam-side down in rows over the brown sugar mixture.

4. Bake, Flip, and Serve

Bake in a 350°F oven for 25 to 30 minutes until the rolls are deep golden brown. Let cool for a couple of minutes, then invert the pan onto a serving platter so the gooey caramel topping runs over the rolls. Serve with a hot cup of coffee.
