Ingredients
For the Cinnamon Rolls
- 2 17.5 oz. cans of refrigerated Grands cinnamon rolls (5 large cinnamon rolls in each can)
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/3 cup unsalted butter melted
- 1/2 cup dark brown sugar
- 3/4 tsp. cinnamon
For the Frosting
- 2 containers frosting, the ones included with the canned cinnamon rolls
- 2 oz. cream cheese softened
- 2 Tbs. unsalted butter softened
- tiny pinch of kosher salt
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 2-3 tsp. milk, if needed, to make the frosting easier to spread
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9x13-inch baking pan with nonstick baking spray.
- Unroll both cans of cinnamon rolls and place them into the prepared pan in a single layer; reserve the containers of white icing to use later in this recipe to make the frosting.
- Gently and slowly pour the whipping cream over and around the unbaked cinnamon rolls in the pan.
- In a small bowl, combine the 1/3 cup melted butter, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon; spread this mixture evenly over the unbaked cinnamon rolls in the pan.
- Cover the cinnamon roll pan tightly with foil and place onto the center oven rack;. Bake the cinnamon rolls for 30-35 minutes or until fully cooked throughout. Remove the pan of cinnamon rolls from the oven to a cooling rack; uncover to cool.
- Meanwhile, in a medium mixing bowl, add the butter, cream cheese, and salt along with the contents of both containers of the white icing that came with the canned cinnamon rolls; stir to combine.
- Add the powdered sugar and stir again until the frosting is nice and smooth. **If the frosting appears to thick to spread easily, add a bit of milk to loosen it.
- Once the cinnamon rolls have cooled for 10 minutes, gently spread the prepared frosting over the top; serve at once.
Notes
- Whipping cream is absorbed into the rolls as they bake, making them extra light in texture.
- Baking these viral cinnamon rolls covered with foil allows them to steam as they bake and that's what makes them so tender.
- Don't skip the pinch of salt in the frosting! The salt makes the sweetness of the frosting more mellow so you can enjoy the cinnamon rolls even more.
- Be sure you let the cinnamon rolls cool for 10 minutes before you frost them so the icing doesn't melt away.
