Recipe Notes
Expert Tips
- For extra flavor, toast the pecans before adding them to the filling.
- If you don't have heavy cream, you can substitute with full-fat coconut milk for a richer, coconut-forward flavor.
- To prevent the lasagna rolls from drying out, cover the baking dish loosely with foil during the first half of baking time.
- Serve warm and enjoy this unique dessert as is, or pair it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dusting of powdered sugar.
