Description
Viral-TikTok-cinnamon-rolls-heavy-cream made with canned rolls baked in a bath of heavy cream for extra-soft, gooey centers and custardy sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1–2 cans refrigerated cinnamon rolls (with icing)
- 1/2–1 cup heavy cream
- 1–2 tbsp melted butter (for greasing pan)
- 1–2 tbsp brown sugar (optional, for cream)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
- Extra cinnamon for sprinkling (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a baking dish with melted butter.
- Arrange refrigerated cinnamon rolls in the dish with a little space between each.
- In a measuring cup, combine heavy cream with brown sugar, vanilla, and a pinch of cinnamon if using.
- Pour the cream mixture around the rolls until it comes about halfway up their sides, avoiding the very tops.
- Bake 25–30 minutes, or until rolls are puffed, golden, and the cream has thickened into a sauce.
- Remove from the oven and let cool 5–10 minutes so the sauce settles.
- Stir icing packets until smooth, then drizzle over the warm rolls so it melts into the spirals.
- Serve the viral-TikTok-cinnamon-rolls-heavy-cream warm, scooping up some of the creamy sauce with each roll.
Notes
Use “grand” or jumbo-style refrigerated rolls for thicker, bakery-style spirals.
If the centers still look doughy, cover the pan loosely with foil and bake a few more minutes.
Too much cream can make the pan soupy—start with 1/2 cup for one can and adjust next time.
Pair with simple sweets like chewy honey sesame cookies or vegan oatmeal cookies for a full brunch spread.
