Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 package Pillsbury cinnamon rolls
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) heavy cream
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) unsalted butter, softened
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1/4 cup (50 g) granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Topping Ingredients:
- 1 container Pillsbury frosting
- 2 ounces (56 g) cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup (30 g) powdered sugar
Instructions
- Prepare a 9×13 inch baking dish by generously coating with butter or non-stick spray to prevent sticking and ensure easy roll removal.
- Carefully unroll cinnamon roll dough, separating each piece with gentle precision to maintain their delicate texture.
- Create a luscious cinnamon butter mixture by thoroughly blending room-temperature butter with ground cinnamon until smooth and evenly incorporated.
- Arrange the individual rolls in the prepared baking dish, leaving slight spacing between each for even expansion during baking.
- Generously spread the prepared cinnamon butter across the surface of each roll, ensuring complete and uniform coverage.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F, positioning the rack in the center for consistent heat distribution.
- Carefully slide the prepared dish into the preheated oven, baking for 25-30 minutes until the rolls transform into a rich, golden-brown color with slightly crisp edges.
- While rolls bake, craft a decadent frosting by whisking cream cheese, prepared vanilla frosting, and powdered sugar until achieving a smooth, creamy consistency.
- Remove rolls from oven and allow to cool for approximately 5 minutes, which helps the texture settle and prevents burning.
- Lavishly drizzle the prepared cream cheese frosting over the warm rolls, allowing it to melt slightly and create an irresistible glaze.
Notes
- Swap regular flour with gluten-free blend for celiac-friendly version, ensuring texture remains soft and tender.
- Use plant-based butter and dairy-free cream cheese to transform recipe into vegan-friendly delightful treat.
- Reduce sugar content by substituting with monk fruit sweetener or stevia for low-carb and diabetic-friendly alternative.
- Room temperature ingredients guarantee smoother mixing and more consistent cinnamon roll texture, preventing lumpy or uneven spread.
