How to make it

  • In a small bowl, beat the cream cheese, almond extract, and sugar until fluffy. Fold half of the chopped almonds into the cream cheese mixture.
  • Separate 1 can of dough and assemble into 4 rectangles. Firmly press the perforations to seal.
  • Press or roll each piece of dough to form a 7 by 4-inch rectangle, and spread each with about 2 tablespoons of the cream cheese filling to within 1/4-inch of the edges. Starting at the short end, roll each rectangle tightly into a cylinder. Repeat with the other can of dough and remaining filling.
  • Place on a plate, cover with plastic wrap, and chill until firm, about 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F while the rolls are chilling.
  • Remove from the refrigerator and cut each roll into 4 slices. Place 1/2-inch apart on ungreased baking sheets. In a small bowl, combine the egg white with 1 teaspoon water. Brush over the swirls. Sprinkle with the remaining chopped almonds.
  • Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, until light brown.
  • While the swirls are baking, combine the glaze ingredients in a small bowl. Cool the swirls for 3 minutes on wire racks placed over a sheet of waxed paper. Drizzle the icing over the warm swirls.

    I actually tried this recipe for the family last night and it was a big HIT!! They are yummy, the only thing is that I used walnuts instead of the almonds, as that is what I had on hand. They were delish!!
