Cinnamon Rolls with Heavy Cream (TikTok Cinnamon Rolls)
Description
Cinnamon Rolls with Heavy Cream (TikTok Cinnamon Rolls) uses pre-made frozen dough as a base, which rises over several hours until doubled. The heavy cream poured over the risen rolls seeps in, enriching the interior by adding creaminess and moisture. A mixture of melted butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla is then spread on top, which caramelizes in the oven, creating a sweet, slightly crisp topping. Baking uncovered at 350°F creates a golden crust while maintaining a soft, tender center. The rolls are finished with the included cream cheese frosting that adds an extra creamy sweetness and tang.
The texture is gooey and soft, combining the classic cinnamon roll spice with the richness of heavy cream and butter. This method enhances the frozen rolls without needing from-scratch dough. They work well as a decadent breakfast, brunch, or dessert option.
For a quicker version, ready-to-bake cinnamon rolls like Pillsbury Grands can be used by skipping the thaw and rise stage and shortening the bake time. The recipe’s notes suggest eliminating the thaw and rise steps and baking immediately, saving time while still achieving a satisfactory result.
Ingredients
- 1 36-ounce bag cinnamon rolls Rhodes Thaw, Rise and Bake
- ⅔ cup heavy whipping cream
- 6 tablespoons butter melted, salted
- ½ cup light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- cream cheese frosting that came with the cinnamon rolls
Instructions
- Spray a 9x13-inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray. Arrange all 12 of the cinnamon rolls into the prepared pan. Cover the pan with plastic wrap sprayed with cooking spray to prevent the rolls from sticking to the plastic wrap while rising.
- Choose your preferred thaw and rise method from the back of the Rhodes bag. The regular method will take 3-5 hours and the refrigerator method can be done overnight for 8-16 hours.
- Once the rolls have doubled in size, preheat the oven to 350°F. Pour the heavy cream directly over the rolls and allow it to seep into the rolls for about 5 minutes.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, cinnamon and vanilla. Pour this mixture directly over the rolls and use an offset spatula to spread it evenly.
- Bake uncovered in preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the rolls are golden brown. Allow the rolls to cool for about 10 minutes before frosting with the cream cheese icing frosting that is included in the Rhodes Thaw, Rise and Bake Cinnamon Rolls.
Notes
- Using Pillsbury Grands Original Cinnamon Rolls allows skipping thaw and rise for a quicker bake time of 25 minutes.
- Cover the pan with plastic wrap sprayed with cooking spray to prevent sticking during the rise.
- Allow rolls to cool 10 minutes before applying the cream cheese frosting to prevent it from melting off.
