Ingredients
Units
Scale
For the Cinnamon Rolls:
- 1 can (5-count) refrigerated cinnamon rolls (like Pillsbury Grands!)
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
For the Cinnamon Sugar Butter Mixture:
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Frosting (Optional Upgrade!):
- 4 oz cream cheese (softened)
- 2 tablespoons butter (softened)
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon milk (adjust for consistency)
Instructions
1. Prep the Cinnamon Rolls:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Arrange the refrigerated cinnamon rolls in the dish, leaving space between them.
2. Add the Secret Heavy Cream Hack:
- Pour ½ cup heavy cream over the cinnamon rolls. This keeps them extra soft and gooey while baking.
3. Make the Cinnamon Butter Topping:
- In a bowl, mix melted butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Drizzle this mixture over the cinnamon rolls for extra flavor.
4. Bake & Frost:
- Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and fluffy.
- If using store-bought icing, spread it over warm rolls.
- For homemade frosting, mix cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk until smooth, then spread over warm cinnamon rolls.
5. Serve & Enjoy!
- Best served warm with an extra drizzle of icing!
Notes
- Want extra gooey rolls? Cover the baking dish with foil for the first 15 minutes of baking, then uncover for the last 10-15 minutes.
- Make them caramel-y! Add ¼ cup maple syrup to the heavy cream before pouring it over the rolls.
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days, or reheat in the microwave for 10-15 seconds.
