Cooktop Cove: Pour egg and butter mixture over biscuits for the most rich treat
By Emily Monaco
It's hard to think of anything more decadent than a buttery cinnamon roll drizzled with sweet icing, but this bake takes things to the next level. The recipe that follows calls for combining canned cinnamon rolls with strawberry pie filling for a totally irresistible dessert.
To keep this bake from becoming overly sweet (and yes, that is possible!) the homemade cream cheese icing is flavored with just a hint of lemon juice. The slight acidity of the cream cheese and lemon help to balance out the rich, sweet flavors of the bake itself, and when drizzled over the top, the icing is a beautiful finishing touch.
