Here is a fast and easy dessert idea:
Take Pillsbury Crescent Rolls, leave them in rolls and slice them aprox. 3/4", place them in a baking dish. Put a pile of brown sugar on each one, then slowly pour some heavy cream over the sugar. Pour just enough so that some of the cream drizzles down the sides. Then cook at 350F until golden.
This is a dessert that I love to make when I am in a hurry, my family loves them.
