TikTok Cinnamon Rolls Recipe
Description
The recipe starts with refrigerated canned cinnamon rolls arranged in a baking dish and poured over with heavy whipping cream to keep them moist during baking. A melted butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon mixture is drizzled on top before covering the pan and baking for 30 minutes. Uncovering the rolls in the last 10 minutes allows them to brown and develop a slight caramelized crust.
A frosting is prepared by softening cream cheese and butter together, then mixing with powdered sugar to create a creamy topping that adds a tangy sweetness balancing the brown sugar glaze. The texture is a combination of soft, pillowy dough with pockets of gooey glaze and smooth frosting.
These cinnamon rolls serve well as a breakfast or sweet treat. The recipe recommends Grands brand canned rolls but can be adapted to other flavors of canned cinnamon rolls if desired. Leftovers keep for up to a week refrigerated in an airtight container.
The use of heavy cream during baking enriches the rolls and prevents dryness, making for a pleasant, evenly moist texture. The frosting can be prepared while rolls bake to save time.
