Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup chopped pecans
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons plus 1-1/2 teaspoons Mascarpone cheese, divided
  • 1 teaspoon grated orange peel
  • 1 tube (6 ounces) refrigerated flaky buttermilk biscuits
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar

Directions

  • On a lightly floured surface, roll out biscuits into 4-in. circles. Spread 1/2 teaspoon cheese mixture down the center of each circle. Bring dough from opposite sides over filling just until edges meet; pinch to seal. Brush with some of the butter; roll in sugar mixture. Place seam side down over pecans. Sprinkle with remaining sugar mixture; drizzle with remaining butter.
