TikTok Cinnamon Rolls
Description
This recipe starts with jumbo cinnamon roll tubes placed close together in a buttered baking dish and surrounded by 3/4 to 1 cup heavy cream. The cream bath keeps the rolls moist during baking, contributing to their rich texture. A melted butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon glaze is drizzled over the tops before covering with foil to bake. Baking at 350°F for about 30–38 minutes until light golden ensures thorough cooking. After cooling, a cream cheese frosting enriched with additional cream cheese and powdered sugar is spread on top for tangy sweetness that balances the brown sugar cinnamon glaze.
Using jumbo rolls from grocery store brands like Pillsbury or Trader Joe's makes this recipe convenient and comparable to cinnamon rolls found at cinnamon roll specialty shops. The method focuses on moisture and glaze to keep the rolls tender and flavorful. Allowing the rolls to cool before frosting helps frosting stick and prevents melting. This is a satisfying treat for brunch or dessert.
Ingredients
- (2) pack cinnamon rolls jumbo
- 3/4 to 1 cup heavy cream (to coat the bottom of the baking dish)
Brown Sugar Cinnamon Glaze:
- 6 Tablespoons butter salted
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
Cream Cheese Frosting:
- frosting come included with rolls, packets
- 3 ounces cream cheese (softened)
- 1/3 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9 x 13 baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
- Break open the cinnamon rolls tubes and separate each roll and place into the baking dish. You want to keep them relatively close together so when the rolls rise in the oven, they rise vertical, not horizontal.
- Pour heavy cream all around the rolls, making sure that every part of the cinnamon rolls are surrounded by heavy cream. You can use 3/4 to 1 cup of heavy cream.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter in the microwave. Add brown sugar and cinnamon and stir until smooth. Drizzle brown sugar mixture onto the tops of the rolls. Cover with foil.
- Bake for 30-38 minutes or until a light golden brown color and the centers are cooked through. This baking time may range depending on the amount of heavy cream used,, if you used jumbo or regular rolls, and the accuracy of the temperature of your oven.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for 15 minutes before adding the frosting.
To make Cream Cheese Frosting:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the two frosting packets from the cinnamon roll tubes. Add cream cheese and powdered sugar and whip until light and creamy. If you want a thinner glaze, add 1 Tablespoon of milk.
- Spread the frosting all over the rolls and serve once the cinnamon rolls have set-up.
Notes
- Use jumbo sized cinnamon rolls for a texture closer to Cinnabon style rolls.
- Pillsbury and Trader Joe's offer jumbo cinnamon rolls suitable for this recipe.
- Cool the rolls for 15 minutes after baking before applying the frosting to prevent it from sliding off.
