Ingredients
Scale
Cinnamon Rolls and Base
- 2 cans Pillsbury Grands! Cinnabon Cinnamon Rolls
- 1 cup Heavy cream
Cinnamon Sugar Mixture
- 1 stick Butter (unsalted, about 4 tablespoons)
- 3/4 cup Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
Frosting
- 4 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- Packaged icing from cinnamon rolls can (approx. 4-5 tablespoons)
Instructions
- Preheat and prepare dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with non-stick spray to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Make cinnamon sugar mixture: Melt 1 stick of butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Stir in the brown sugar and cinnamon until well combined to create a rich, flavorful topping.
- Add heavy cream to dish: Pour 1 cup of heavy cream into the bottom of the baking dish to cover it evenly. Reserve any leftover cream to drizzle over the rolls later.
- Arrange cinnamon rolls: Open the cans of cinnamon rolls and separate each roll. Place them spaced evenly in the baking dish, allowing some room for expansion as they bake. They may touch or press slightly together but avoid packing them tightly. Pour any reserved heavy cream over the rolls.
- Top with cinnamon sugar: Evenly distribute the prepared cinnamon sugar butter mixture over each cinnamon roll, ensuring each one gets a good coat.
- Bake covered and then uncovered: Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil. Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes. Afterward, remove the foil and continue baking for another 10 minutes or until the cream is mostly absorbed and the tops are golden brown.
- Cool the cinnamon rolls: Remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool in the dish for 10 minutes to set slightly before frosting.
- Prepare the frosting: In a bowl, combine the packaged icing from the cinnamon rolls, 4 ounces of softened cream cheese, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and creamy. Add a small amount of heavy cream if needed to reach a spreadable consistency.
- Frost and serve: Once the cinnamon rolls have cooled for 10 minutes, generously spread the cream cheese frosting over the top. Serve warm for the best gooey, creamy experience.
Notes
- Use unsalted butter for better control of saltiness in the cinnamon sugar mixture.
- Make sure the cream cheese is softened to avoid lumps in the frosting.
- If you prefer a less rich option, reduce the heavy cream slightly.
- Allow cinnamon rolls to cool slightly before frosting to prevent the frosting from melting completely.
- These rolls are best enjoyed the same day for optimal freshness and gooey texture.
