Ingredients

1 package (16 oz) prepared sweet yeast dough (or 2 tubes of refrigerated crescent dough)

1 cup chopped toasted pecans (divided)

1 cup dark brown sugar

½ cup unsalted butter, melted

½ cup fresh mango puree

1 cup fresh mango, finely diced

1 tbsp ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Create the Mango Caramel: In a bowl, whisk together the melted butter, ½ cup brown sugar, and mango puree. Pour this mixture into the bottom of a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Sprinkle evenly with ½ cup of the chopped pecans. 
  2. Prep the Dough: Roll the dough out on a floured surface into a large rectangle. Spread the remaining ½ cup brown sugar and the cinnamon evenly over the dough. Scatter the finely diced fresh mango and remaining ½ cup pecans on top. 
  3. Roll and Slice: Roll the dough tightly from the long edge into a log. Slice into 12 equal rolls. Place the rolls cut-side down directly into the mango caramel in the baking dish. 
  4. Bake and Invert: Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 30-35 minutes until the rolls are golden and the caramel is bubbling. Let rest for 5 minutes, then carefully invert a serving platter over the pan and flip to release the buns, letting the sticky mango-pecan caramel cascade over the top.
