Viral TikTok Cinnamon Rolls

 

Difficulty:  Easy | Prep time:  5 minutes | Bake time:  30 minutes | Servings:  16 cinnamon rolls

 

Ingredients:

• 2 packages store-bought cinnamon rolls with icing (8 count) I really like Pillsburys Grands Cinnamon Rolls.
• 1 cup half & half (or heavy whipping cream) 

Directions: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.  Grease a 13×9-inch or similarly sized baking dish with non-stick spray.  Set aside. Carefully open the packages with the cinnamon rolls.  Set the icing aside for now.

 

Gently separate the cinnamon rolls and place them in the prepared baking dish with the cut side facing up. Pour the half-and-half over the arranged cinnamon rolls.

Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes or until golden brown.

Allow to cool for about 5 minutes. 

Spread the icing evenly over the tops of the cinnamon rolls and serve. 

 

Storage:  Cinnamon rolls can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.  Reheat before serving.

• Check the half and half cinnamon rolls at 25 minutes to make sure they are not overcooking. The baking time can vary based on your oven. You don’t want to burn this delicious treat.
• Add your favorite additions to this recipe like pecans or sprinkles. I love the flexibility of this recipe.
