How to Make the Best TikTok Cinnamon Rolls
TikTok cinnamon rolls popped into my FYP a few weeks ago, and it only took one video for me to want to test the recipe for myself. And they were so delicious that I didn’t have time to photograph them! In fact, they were gone so quickly that the oven hadn’t yet finished cooling.
I’ve seen a few recipe variations, and if you want to make your own cinnamon rolls, go for it. However, I believe this trick is ideal for canned cinnamon rolls because it jazzes them up with minimal effort.
You could simply use store-bought rolls and reheat them in the oven. The cream will soak into the crumb, increasing their addictiveness by a lot. Trust me when I say that once you’ve tasted this cinnamon roll, you’ll never go back to normal cinnamon rolls.
Ingredients
- 1 package jumbo cinnamon rolls (Grands, etc) – 5 count
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided.
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons light brown sugar, packed
- 2 ounces (¼ block) cream cheese, room temperature
- ½ cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Coat an 8-inch round cake pan with cooking spray. Place cinnamon rolls in a pan, then pour heavy cream over and around the rolls.
- Melt 2 tablespoons of butter and combine it with the cinnamon and brown sugar. Keep the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter on the counter. Spread the mixture onto the rolls. Cover and bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden and slightly springy when pressed.
- Combine the included cinnamon roll frosting and the remaining 2 tablespoons of melted butter, cream cheese, and powdered sugar in a medium bowl. Mix with a hand mixer on medium-low speed until thoroughly mixed. Serve on heated buns with the spread.
Fun Variations
While this recipe is delicious, try these variations to spice things up a bit!
- Add a handful of chopped nuts to the cinnamon and brown sugar mixture for a nutty bite.
- If you want things rich, drizzle some caramel sauce on top of the icing.
- Add ¼ teaspoon orange extract to the frosting recipe for a subtle citrus flavor.
Storage and Reheating Instructions
If you have any leftover cinnamon rolls, store them firmly wrapped or in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Place a cinnamon roll on a microwave-safe plate and reheat in 10-second increments until warm. If you heat the frosting too long, it will liquify and lose its texture. To help it heat up faster, cut the cinnamon roll in half or thirds.
Freezing either the uncooked or cooked and iced cinnamon rolls is not advised. While it is safe to do so, both the canned dough and the cream cheese frosting are prone to freezer burn, and the texture of the thawed rolls will be inferior to those made fresh. Fortunately, because this is such a quick and easy recipe, there is no need to freeze it!
