These Banana Sweet Rolls tuck sweet cream cheese and fresh banana inside golden crescent dough, then finish under a river of melted caramel, breakfast treat and dessert in one.
Mix together the cream cheese, 1 Tablespoon milk, and powdered sugar until smooth; set aside.

20 pieces packaged caramel candies
Top the rolls with caramel sauce, and serve immediately.
Notes
Soften the Cream Cheese: Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature for easy mixing. This helps create a smooth filling without lumps.
Seal the Edges: When rolling up the dough, pinch the edges to prevent the filling from leaking out. This ensures all the yummy goodness stays inside.
Use Parchment Paper: Line your sheet pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
Check for Doneness: Bake until the rolls are golden brown on top for that perfect flaky texture.
Cool Before Adding Caramel: Let the rolls cool slightly before drizzling the caramel sauce to prevent it from melting off.
Experiment with Flavors: Don’t be afraid to try different fruits or add-ins to make the recipe your own. You can even turn these into lemon sweet rolls by using lemon filling!
