Frosting:
Directions:
In a mixing bowl beat cream cheese and butter until smooth. Add vanilla, salt, diced peaches, and Fischer and Wieser Charred Peach Sauce. Mix well. Add milk until desired consistency. Spread over slightly cooled rolls. Sprinkle with chopped pecans.
Note: What is scalded milk? Milk heated to no higher than 83 degrees. Think about what you would heat a baby bottle too. In old recipes, this was called for to kill any bacteria because milk wasn’t pasteurized. Now it is used to deactivate the whey protein which can weaken gluten preventing the dough from rising properly.
