- Starting at one end roll your dough as tightly as you can into a log.

- Bake 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
- For the cream cheese icing: combine the cream cheese, heavy cream, sweetener and maple extract (if using) in a blender or food processor and mix until smooth.
**Note: the icing is for a mildly sweet, thick frosting. If you prefer it sweeter or thinner just add additional ingredients as needed after taste testing.
