How to Make Cinnabon Cinnamon Rolls

Ingredients:

2 tubes Pillsbury Grands (or large store-bought cinnamon rolls)
1 cup heavy cream
½ stick butter, cut into thin slices
½ cup brown sugar
½ teaspoon cinnamon
2 canisters of icing from cinnamon roll tubes

Instructions:

Preheat Oven & Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to the temperature specified on the cinnamon roll package (typically around 350°F). Spray a baking dish with baking spray to prevent sticking.
Arrange Cinnamon Rolls: Open the tubes of cinnamon rolls and place them in the prepared baking dish, arranging them close together so they touch.
Add Toppings: Sprinkle brown sugar and cinnamon evenly over the cinnamon rolls. Place thinly sliced butter on top of the rolls.
Pour Heavy Cream: Evenly pour the cup of heavy cream over the cinnamon rolls. The cream will soak into the rolls as they bake, adding moisture and richness.
Bake: Bake the cinnamon rolls in the preheated oven according to the package instructions, typically for 25-35 minutes. They should be golden brown on top when done, with the edges slightly crispy and the center gooey.
Cool & Add Icing: Remove the cinnamon rolls from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. If using the icing from the cinnamon roll tubes, drizzle or spread it over the warm rolls. The heat will melt the icing slightly, enhancing the gooey texture.
Serve & Enjoy: Serve the cinnamon rolls warm, ideally while they’re fresh and soft. They pair wonderfully with a cup of coffee or a cold glass of milk for a delightful treat.

Serving Suggestions

Enjoy these Cinnabon Cinnamon Rolls for breakfast, brunch, dessert, or any time you’re craving something sweet and comforting. They’re best enjoyed fresh out of the oven when the icing is warm and gooey.

Storage Tips

Store any leftover cinnamon rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in the microwave for a few seconds before serving to restore their soft, gooey texture.

Tips for Making Cinnabon Cinnamon Rolls

Customize Icing: If you prefer, you can make your own cream cheese icing from scratch and drizzle it over the warm rolls for an extra decadent touch.
Baking Time: Adjust the baking time based on your preference for gooey versus slightly crispy rolls. Keep an eye on them towards the end to achieve your desired texture.
