Ingredients
- 1 cinnamon rolls
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 4 tbsp butter
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
Icing
- 1 premade icing
- 4 oz cream cheese
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- 1Preheat the oven to 350°F (347°F).
- 2Grease a 9‑inch baking dish with butter or non‑stick spray.
- 3Arrange the tube of cinnamon rolls in the prepared dish, spacing them evenly.
- 4Pour the measured heavy cream around the rolls, allowing it to soak into the dough.
- 5In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon until a glossy glaze forms.
- 6Spoon the cinnamon glaze evenly over the tops of the rolls, ensuring each roll is coated.
- 7Cover the baking dish loosely with aluminum foil to prevent over‑browning.
- 8Bake for 25–35 minutes, or until the rolls are puffed, cooked through, and the glaze is bubbling.
- 9While the rolls are baking, prepare the icing by mixing the premade icing, softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- 10Remove the foil during the last 5 minutes of baking if you prefer a lightly browned top.
- 11When the rolls are done, remove the dish from the oven and let them rest for 2 minutes.
- 12Spread the prepared cream‑cheese icing over the warm rolls, allowing it to melt slightly into the surface.
- 13Serve the cinnamon rolls warm, optionally dusted with a pinch of extra cinnamon or powdered sugar.
