Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350° F (175° C). Cut the peaches in half, remove the pit, and slice as thin as you can.

Open the Pillsbury rolls. This is divided into triangles. Keep each pair of triangles together. We want to make two long strips out of each pair.

On a slightly floured counter, stretch out the dough to make a long rectangle, about 4 inches by 10 inches (10 cm x 25 cm). Cut in half lengthwise, you will have 8 strips 2" x 10".

Spread about one teaspoon of Nutella on each strip, and sprinkle with crushed hazelnuts. Place the peach slices along one edge with outside of peach sticking over edge of pastry. Fold the dough in half, and roll up to form a rose.

Place the roses into a silicone muffin. Remember to grease the muffin cups if you are not using silicone.

Bake at 350° F (175° C) for about 25 minutes.

If the top of the peaches are getting burnt, cover with aluminum foil, and place the pan at the bottom of the oven. Make sure the roses are fully baked before removing from the oven. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve.

This dessert is better served immediately, but can also be stored for up to 48 hours in an air tight container. Delicious when served warm ... maybe with a scoop of vanilla ice-cream :)
