Resurrection Rolls Recipe
Introduction
Resurrection Rolls are a simple and delightful treat that combines gooey marshmallows with cinnamon-sugar coated crescent dough. They’re perfect for a festive occasion or a comforting snack that’s both fun and delicious.
Ingredients
- Cooking spray
- 1/4 cup (50 g) granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 (8-oz.) tube crescent rolls
- 8 marshmallows
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease an 8-inch round cake pan with cooking spray. In a small bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and cinnamon. Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into 8 individual triangles.
- Step 2: Dip each marshmallow into the melted butter, then roll it in the cinnamon sugar mixture until fully coated. Place the marshmallow in the wide end of a crescent triangle and roll it up, sealing the sides around the marshmallow. Gently roll the dough ball in your hands to create a tight seal and smooth shape.
- Step 3: Dip the rolled crescent into butter again, then coat it a second time with cinnamon sugar. Arrange the rolls in the prepared pan. Repeat the process with the remaining marshmallows and dough triangles.
- Step 4: Bake the rolls for 18 to 20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and firm to the touch. Allow them to cool slightly before serving.
Tips & Variations
- For an extra flavor boost, add a pinch of nutmeg or pumpkin pie spice to the cinnamon sugar mixture.
- Use flavored marshmallows, such as vanilla or caramel, to create a twist on the classic recipe.
- Brush the rolls with melted butter before baking for a richer crust.
Storage

FAQs
Can I use mini marshmallows instead of full-sized ones?
Full-sized marshmallows work best to create a gooey center, but if you want to use mini marshmallows, try bundling a few together to mimic the size of a regular marshmallow before rolling in the dough.
What can I do if the dough tears while rolling the marshmallow?
If the dough tears, patch it gently using extra dough from leftover triangles or pinch the tears closed firmly to prevent the marshmallow from leaking while baking.

Ingredients
For the Rolls
- Cooking spray, as needed
- 1/4 cup (50 g) granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 (8-oz) tube crescent rolls (8 triangles)
- 8 large marshmallows
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Prepare Pan and Cinnamon Sugar: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch round cake pan thoroughly with cooking spray to prevent sticking. In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon, whisking together until evenly mixed.
- Assemble the Resurrection Rolls: Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into 8 individual triangles. Dip each marshmallow into the melted butter, coating it completely. Then, toss the buttered marshmallow in the cinnamon sugar mixture, ensuring it’s fully covered. Place the coated marshmallow onto the wide end of a crescent dough triangle. Roll the dough tightly around the marshmallow, sealing the edges by pinching the dough together completely to avoid leaks. Gently roll the formed ball in your hands to create a smooth, rounded shape. Next, dip the roll in the melted butter again and then toss in the cinnamon sugar mixture to coat the outside. Place the finished roll into the prepared cake pan. Repeat this process with the remaining marshmallows and crescent dough triangles.
- Bake: Place the pan in the oven and bake the rolls for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the rolls turn golden brown and feel firm to the touch. Baking will melt the marshmallows inside, creating a gooey center that disappears once cooled.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the pan from the oven and allow the rolls to cool slightly. Serve warm and enjoy the magical surprise inside!
Notes
- Ensure to pinch the crescent dough tightly around the marshmallow to prevent leakage during baking.
- Use large marshmallows for best results.
- Serve warm for the gooey melted marshmallow center, but be careful as the filling will be hot.
- These can be made ahead and baked fresh when ready to serve.
- For a variation, try using flavored marshmallows or adding a drop of vanilla or almond extract to the cinnamon sugar.
