Puff Pastry Cinnamon Rolls
Description
This recipe uses thawed puff pastry sheets spread with a thin layer of brown sugar and sprinkled with cinnamon according to taste. The pastry is rolled up tightly and cut into even pieces, which are placed on a baking sheet and baked until puffed and golden. The result is a layered, flaky pastry with pockets of melted cinnamon sugar that provide a sweet, aromatic filling.
Once baked, the rolls are drizzled with a vanilla-flavored icing made by mixing powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and half-and-half to a consistency that holds its shape briefly when drizzled. This icing adds a smooth sweetness without overpowering the cinnamon flavor and flaky texture of the pastry. These rolls are best served warm to enjoy the contrast between the crisp exterior and the soft, sweet interior.
Ingredients
- 2 heets puff pastry thawed
- flour for dusting
- 1/2 cup brown sugar divided, packed
- ground cinnamon however much to your liking
for the icing-
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon half-and-half
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400° F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mat and set aside.
- Unfold one sheet of puff pastry onto a clean work surface sprinkled with flour. Spread 1/4 cup of brown sugar in a thin even layer over pastry. Press down lightly. Sprinkle with cinnamon (as much or as little as you'd like). Roll up and cut into 8 even pieces. Place onto the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining sheet of puff pastry.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes or until puffed and golden brown.
for the icing-
- Mix all ingredients together until runny yet slightly thick; when you drizzle the icing back into the bowl, it should hold its shape briefly before falling back into the rest of it. If the icing is runny, add more powdered sugar. If it's too thick, add in more half & half.
- Drizzle icing over warm rolls and serve immediately.
