Growing up, my mom would make these gooey maple rolls for special occasions. My sister and I would beg her to make them for us, but they were usually something she made to take somewhere else. Typically, my mom would set aside one for the two of us to share. To this day, my sister still confuses them with Lady Fingers. We know when she suggests that we have those, she really means these maple cream cheese biscuit rolls.
I am not a fan of nuts and I hate for my hands to feel sticky. Picking off the pecans would make me cringe as my fingers touched the maple syrup and brown sugar mixture. Luckily, as an adult, when I make these myself, I know that I can leave the nuts out. When I made these recently, I only put the pecans on half of the pan because my mom and sister like them.
Just like with the pecans, you could add in coconut to the cream cheese mixture. No one in our family likes coconut, so we left it out and you will not see it as an option in the recipe. However, this is one variation to the recipe that you could consider.
