Upgraded Canned Cinnamon Rolls

There is this hack going around right now where you can use canned cinnamon rolls and take them to the next level. I LOVE cinnamon rolls, so I just had to try it! While not as good as my homemade, these are still way better than just the canned ones by themselves, especially if you like an ooey-gooey cinnamon roll. Enjoy!



Upgraded Canned Cinnamon Rolls

Ingredients:

  • 2 cans Pillsbury Grands cinnamon rolls, ~17 oz. each, 10 rolls total
  • ~1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • 3/4 cups brown sugar
  • 1/2 Tbl cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Directions:

  1. Grease a 9x13 baking dish. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Place your rolls into your baking dish in an evenly spaced, single layer. Reserve the frosting that comes with the rolls for later.
  3. Pour your heavy cream around (not on top of) the rolls until it comes about halfway up the cinnamon rolls.
  4. Mix together your melted butter, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt. Pour this mixture evenly over the rolls.
  5. Bake for 40 minutes, or until the cream is absorbed, your rolls have enlarged and are puffy and starting to brown.
  6. Let cool, then top with the frosting from the cans.
Marsha's Notes:
You can also top these rolls with nuts, if desired.
