Creamy Cinnamon Rolls

Yield: 12

Ingredients

• 2 (1 pound) loaves frozen bread dough, thawed
• 2/3 cup (1/2 of a 14 ounce can) Eagle Brand Sweetened Condensed Milk (NOT evaporated milk), divided
• 1 cup chopped pecans
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1 cup sifted confectioners' sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Chopped pecans (optional)

Instructions

1. On a lightly floured surface, roll each of the bread dough loaves to a 12 x 9 inch rectangle. Spread 1/3 cup sweetened condensed milk over dough rectangles. Sprinkle with 1 cup pecans and cinnamon. Roll up jellyroll style starting from a short side cut. Cut each into 6 slices.
2. Generously grease a 13 x 9 inch baking pan. Place rolls, cut sides down, in pan. Cover loosely with greased wax paper and then with plastic wrap. Chill overnight. Cover and chill remaining 1/3 cup sweetened condensed milk.
3. To bake, let pan of rolls stand at room temperature for 30 minutes.
4. Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until golden brown. Cool in pan for 5 minutes; loosen edges and remove rolls from pan.
5. Meanwhile for frosting, in a small bowl, combine confectioners' sugar, remaining 1/3 cup Eagle Brand and vanilla extract. Drizzle frosting on warm rolls.
6. Sprinkle with additional chopped pecans if desired.

Notes

Tip: Use remaining Eagle Brand as dip for fruit; add a few spoonsful to coffee or pour into storage container and store tightly covered in refrigerator for up to 1 week.
