Ingredients
 

Cinnamon Rolls

  • 1 12 count bag Rhodes Frozen Thaw Rise and Bake Cinnamon Rolls
  • 1 cup whipping cream
  • 1/2 cup butter divided use, melted and cooled just slightly
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar preferably dark
  • 1 tsp. cinnamon

Frosting

  • both packets of frosting that come in the Rhodes cinnamon rolls bag
  • 2 oz. cream cheese softened
  • tiny pinch of kosher salt
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 2-4 Tbs. milk
  • Powdered sugar, if needed

Instructions
 

Make and Bake the Cinnamon Rolls

  • Spray a 10x14-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. **If using a standard 9x13-inch pan, only use 10 cinnamon rolls or your pan will overflow in the oven.
  • Arrange all 12 cinnamon rolls into the prepared baking dish; cover with plastic wrap that has been sprayed with nonstick cooking spray to prevent the rolls from sticking to the plastic wrap while rising.
  • Choose your preferred thaw-and-rise method from the back of the Rhodes bag. The regular method takes 3-5 hours on the counter and the refrigerated method takes 8-10 hours, perfect for overnight.
  • Once the rolls have nearly doubled in size, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. (or 325 degrees F. if using a glass pan)
  • Lightly pour the whipping cream directly over the raised rolls, allowing them to rest for 5 minutes at this point.
  • In a bowl, combine 6 Tbs. pf the melted butter with the brown sugar and cinnamon; gently spoon this mixture over the rolls, using a spatula to spread it out evenly, if needed.
  • Bake the cinnamon rolls, uncovered, for 28-30 minutes or until the rolls are golden brown and fully baked at the very center. While the rolls cool a bit, prepare the frosting.

Prepare the Frosting

  • In a bowl, combine the contents of both packages of frosting (that came in the Rhodes bag) with 2 Tbs. melted butter, the cream cheese, pinch of kosher salt, and vanilla extract; add the milk a little at at time until the frosting reaches the desired consistency. **If you prefer a thicker frosting, add a few teaspoons of powdered sugar, a little at a time, until thickend to the desired consistency.
  • Spread the frosting over the rolls.
