Ingredients
Scale

- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chopped pistachios
- 1 package (6 rolls Hawaiian sweet rolls)
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt 1/2 cup butter. Add heavy cream, brown sugar, salt, and chopped pistachios. Stir until the mixture comes to a boil, ensuring all sugar dissolves (1-2 minutes).
- Turn off the heat once the mixture boils, and continue stirring until it stops bubbling.
- Pour the caramel mixture into the bottom of your baking dish.
- Slice the Hawaiian sweet rolls down the center without cutting all the way through and set them aside.
- In a separate bowl, combine ricotta cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until well mixed.
- Spread the ricotta mixture inside the sliced sweet rolls.
- Place the filled rolls face down into the caramel mixture in the baking dish.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the rolls turn golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let them rest for about 5 minutes (avoid waiting longer).
- Carefully invert the rolls onto a large serving platter placed over the baking dish.
- Be cautious as the caramel is still hot. Enjoy your warm and delicious Sticky Buns!
