Dessert is surely an essential part of any good meal, but it can be a pain to make, especially when you have company coming over!
More often than not, you might find yourself out of money, time or ideas when you put together the perfect meal and then realize that you haven't given the sweet finale a second thought. What do you do?
Enter the life-saving miracle ingredient that has saved many a dinner party: canned biscuit dough! The pre-made stuff provides a lovely and affordable shortcut, because there's really no reason to make things hard on yourself, right?
These desserts whip up in a flash, so that you can spend some much needed time socializing with guests or relaxing on the couch and enjoying the fruits of your not-so-hard work!
1. Cardamom Cinnamon Donuts
Who knew that you could make donuts out of biscuit dough? I sure didn't! Donuts seem like tasty yet laborious treats, but it doesn't need to be that way! Just shape and fry the cut biscuits and top them with cinnamon, sugar and cardamom or your favorite glaze (glaze recipe here).
2. Apple Pie Pull-Apart Bread
This is waaay faster than making apple pie from scratch, that's for sure! If you're pressed for time, go ahead and substitute canned apple pie filling and skip all the chopping.
3. Pineapple Upside-Down Biscuits
With just five ingredients and only a couple of steps, these bite-sized fruity treats couldn't be any easier.
4. Petite Nutella Pochettes
These gooey chocolate hazelnut pockets look just as cute as the name implies! This recipe uses from-scratch dough, but you don't need to do that. Just use the canned stuff and skip instruction #1.
5. Banana Caramel Pecan Donuts
You'd think that banana caramel pecan anything would take all day to make, but that's not necessarily true! While this recipe is a little more labor-intensive than the others, it is still pretty simple, especially with a nifty canned dough shortcut. Nice!
