• 1/2 cup light brown sugar
• 1 cup frozen cranberries

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 400.

3. For filling: In the bowl of an electric mixer with paddle attachment combine chevre, cinnamon, cardamom, heavy cream and zest.  Mix until smooth. Spread evenly on the two puff pastry sheets, leaving a 1/2 inch border. Sprinkle each sheet with 1/4 cup of the Light brown sugar. Sprinkle 1/2 cup frozen cranberries on each sheet.
4. Roll each sheet snugly (like a jelly roll) and slice into equal rolls about 1 1/2 in thick (each sheet should make 6 rolls). Place each piece in a prepared muffin cup.
