Gooey Cinnamon Orange Croissants


I love Pillsbury's orange croissants but the fat and calorie content is outrageous. So I thought I'd try my own lighter version (but still not homemade!)

Gooey Cinnamon Orange Croissants

Ingredients:
1 can Pillsbury refrigerated reduced fat croissant dough OR pre-rolled ones (not reduced fat though)
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 cup powdered sugar
2 Tbsp milk
1-2 drops orange extract

Directions:
1. Unroll croissant rolls and separate. Roll each one up, starting with pointy end.
2. Lay each one onto stone baking sheet.
3. Sprinkle each one with little bit of cinnamon.
4. Bake according to package directions.
5. In medium bowl, combine powdered sugar, milk, and orange extract, until it's the consistency of a thin icing. If you want it thicker, add more sugar. If you want it thinner, add a little more milk.
6. When they have finished cooking, place onto serving plate. Drizzle with orange icing.
