Equipment

  • Oven-safe baking dish
  • Optional: measuring cup for pouring cream

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cans Pillsbury Grands Cinnamon Rolls or comparable brand
  • 1/2 pint heavy whipping cream

Instructions
 

  • Preheat Oven and Arrange Rolls: Set your oven to the temperature specified on the cinnamon roll packaging. Place the rolls snugly in a baking dish.
  • Add the Cream: Pour heavy whipping cream over the cinnamon rolls until each one is nicely saturated—about half of a 16-ounce container, or more if you prefer them extra moist.
  • Bake: Bake according to package directions, opting for the longer end of the suggested time. Check for doneness by gently lifting a roll to see if the center is cooked through; bake a few minutes longer if needed.
  • Frost and Serve: Allow the rolls to rest briefly out of the oven before drizzling with the included icing. Serve while warm and gooey.

Storage Instructions

  • Room Temperature: Store in a sealed container for up to 2 days.
  • Refrigerated: Keeps well for 3–5 days. Reheat in 30-second intervals in the microwave.

Notes

Even Cream Coverage: Make sure the cream reaches all parts of the dish to avoid dry edges.
Avoid Overbaking: The rolls should stay soft and pillowy—keep an eye on them.
Icing Timing: Let the rolls cool slightly to prevent the icing from sliding off completely.
Make-Ahead Tip: Set up the rolls and cream in your baking dish the night before. Cover and refrigerate, then bake fresh in the morning.
Possible Substitutions
  • Swap heavy cream with whole milk or half-and-half for a lighter result.
  • Add-ons like chopped pecans, cream cheese frosting, or caramel drizzle take these rolls over the top.
Suggested Pairings
  • Serve with coffee, chai, or milk for a classic breakfast combo.
  • Fresh fruit makes a nice contrast to the richness of the rolls.
