Stuffed Carrot Cake French Toast Bites

30 Mins

Ingredients

For the French Toast Bites

1 pack Martin’s Sweet Dinner Rolls (12 rolls)

2 tablespoons butter, for pan-frying

Powdered sugar, for dusting

Cinnamon Cream Cheese Filling

6 oz cream cheese, softened

3 tablespoons powdered sugar

1 tablespoon brown sugar

½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 tablespoons heavy cream

Carrot Cake Custard

4 large eggs

1 cup whole milk

½ cup heavy cream

⅓ cup brown sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

¼ teaspoon salt

½ cup finely shredded carrots (patted dry with a paper towel)

Yield: 12 Rolls

Directions

1. Make the Cream Cheese Filling

In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese, powdered sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla, and heavy cream. Mix until smooth and creamy. Transfer to a piping bag or a zip-top bag with the corner snipped off.

2. Prepare the Custard

In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, heavy cream, brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon and salt until well combined. Stir in the shredded carrots.

3. Stuff the Rolls

Cut a small slit into the side of each Martin’s Sweet Dinner Roll, being careful not to cut all the way through. Pipe about 1 tablespoon of filling into each roll.

4. Dip and Cook

Preheat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Dip each stuffed roll into the custard mixture, coating all sides but allowing excess to drip off. Cook for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Repeat with remaining rolls, adding more butter as needed.

5. Finish and Serve

Dust the warm bites with powdered sugar and serve!
