Use this simple hack to transform store-bought cinnamon rolls into bakery-style, incredibly soft, and gooey treats by soaking them in heavy cream before baking.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can (12.4 oz) refrigerated cinnamon rolls (like Pillsbury Grands)
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Icing packet included with rolls

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. Arrange the unbaked cinnamon rolls in a single layer inside the prepared baking dish. Do not separate them.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the heavy whipping cream, melted butter, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon until the sugar begins to dissolve.
  4. Slowly and evenly pour the heavy cream mixture over the cinnamon rolls, ensuring the liquid covers the bottom of the pan and moistens the tops of the rolls.
  5. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and cooked through. The cream mixture will create a rich sauce.
  6. Remove the dish from the oven. Immediately spread the included icing packet over the warm rolls.
  7. Let the rolls cool slightly before serving. The heavy cream makes them extra moist.

Notes

  • For an even richer flavor, you can substitute half of the heavy cream with half-and-half.
  • If you prefer a thicker, homemade frosting, mix 1 cup powdered sugar with 2 tablespoons softened cream cheese and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  • This recipe works well with frozen Rhodes cinnamon rolls if you allow them to thaw slightly first.
