Make the softest, most decadent cinnamon rolls using this simple hack involving heavy cream. This recipe transforms store-bought dough into bakery-style, impossibly gooey treats perfect for brunch or a special breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can (about 340 g) refrigerated cinnamon rolls with icing
  • 120 ml heavy cream
  • 56 g unsalted butter, melted
  • 30 g dark brown sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. Open the can of cinnamon rolls and place the rolls into the prepared baking dish, leaving a small space between them. Discard the icing packet for now.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, melted butter, and dark brown sugar until the sugar begins to dissolve.
  4. Pour this heavy cream mixture evenly over the unbaked cinnamon rolls in the dish. Distribute the liquid so that most rolls receive some of the mixture.
  5. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and cooked through. The heavy cream mixture will create a rich, gooey sauce around the base.
  6. Remove the dish from the oven. While the rolls are still hot, spread the reserved icing over the tops of the rolls.
  7. Let the rolls cool for about 5 minutes before serving warm.

Notes

  • For an extra decadent experience, you can add a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the heavy cream mixture before pouring.
  • If you prefer a thicker icing, mix the reserved icing packet with 1 tablespoon of milk or cream cheese until smooth before drizzling.
  • These rolls are best eaten the day they are made for maximum gooeyness.
