Make the softest, most decadent cinnamon rolls using a simple heavy cream soak. This easy method transforms store-bought rolls into a Cinnabon-style treat perfect for weekend brunch or holidays.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can (about 340 g) refrigerated cinnamon rolls with icing (Pillsbury Grands recommended)
  • 120 ml heavy cream
  • 56 g unsalted butter, melted
  • 30 g dark brown sugar
  • Extra cream cheese frosting (from the can or homemade)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven according to the directions on the refrigerated cinnamon roll can.
  2. Arrange the unbaked cinnamon rolls in a 9×13 inch baking dish. Do not separate them too much; let them touch.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, melted butter, and dark brown sugar until combined. This creates the rich soak.
  4. Pour the heavy cream mixture evenly over the arranged cinnamon rolls, ensuring the cream gets between the rolls.
  5. Bake according to the can’s instructions, usually around 20-25 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and cooked through.
  6. Remove the pan from the oven. Immediately spread the included icing over the hot rolls. The heat will help the icing melt and spread.
  7. Let the rolls cool in the pan for 5 to 10 minutes before serving. The heavy cream soak keeps them incredibly moist and gooey.

Notes

  • For an extra decadent finish, prepare a simple cream cheese frosting using 1/2 cup softened cream cheese, 1/4 cup softened butter, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 cup powdered sugar, mixing until smooth. Drizzle this over the rolls after the can icing has melted.
  • These rolls are best eaten warm right after baking for the ultimate melt-in-your-mouth texture.
  • This heavy cream baking hack works well for making a quick, impressive holiday breakfast.
