Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the rolls
  • 2 can (17.5 oz) refrigerated cinnamon rolls with icing packets included
  • 1 cup heavy cream
For the topping
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter melted
  • 0.5 cup light brown sugar packed
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon

Equipment

  • 1 9x13-inch baking dish

Method
 

Prepare the rolls
  1. Heat the oven to 350°F.
  2. Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  3. Arrange the cinnamon rolls in the dish.
  4. Set the icing packets aside.
  5. Pour the heavy cream evenly around the rolls.
Make the topping and bake
  1. Stir together the melted butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon.
  2. Spoon the mixture evenly over the rolls.
  3. Cover the dish tightly with foil.
  4. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes.
  5. Remove the foil and bake for 10 to 15 minutes more, until the centers are set and the tops are lightly golden.
Ice the rolls
  1. Let the rolls rest for 5 minutes.
  2. Drizzle with the icing from the packets.

Notes

For even baking, pour the cream around the rolls rather than over them. Refrigerate leftovers covered for up to 3 days; freeze for up to 2 months and thaw before reheating. A dairy-free swap would require replacing the cream and butter with plant-based alternatives and using dairy-free cinnamon rolls.
