This recipe upgrades store-bought cinnamon rolls using a heavy cream soak to create incredibly soft, gooey, and bakery-style cinnamon rolls perfect for an easy holiday brunch or weekend dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can (12.4 oz) refrigerated cinnamon rolls (like Pillsbury Grands)
  • 120 ml heavy cream (heavy whipping cream)
  • 56 g unsalted butter, melted
  • 30 g dark brown sugar
  • 1 packet of included icing

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to the temperature specified on the canned dough package, usually around 375°F (190°C).
  2. Arrange the unbaked cinnamon rolls in a 9×13 inch baking dish. Do not separate them; leave them touching.
  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 arranged cinnamon rolls, ensuring the cream reaches the bottom of the pan.
  5. Bake according to the package directions, typically 18 to 22 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and cooked through.
  6. Remove the dish from the oven. Immediately drizzle the included icing packet over the hot rolls. The heat will melt the icing into a glaze.
  7. Let the rolls cool in the pan for about 5 to 10 minutes before serving. This allows the heavy cream soak to settle, resulting in the softest cinnamon rolls ever.

Notes

  • For an extra decadent treat, add a sprinkle of extra cinnamon sugar over the rolls before baking.
  • If you prefer a thicker frosting, prepare a simple cream cheese frosting separately and use it instead of the packet icing.
  • These rolls are best eaten warm on the day they are made for maximum gooey texture.
