Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can (12.1 oz) refrigerated cinnamon roll dough (with icing packet)
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup Oreo cookies, finely crushed, plus extra for topping
  • 1/4 cup (57g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • For the Cream Cheese Frosting:
  • 4 oz (113g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup (57g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups (180g) powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 12 tablespoons milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, granulated sugar, and ground cinnamon. This is your filling mixture.
  3. Unroll the refrigerated cinnamon roll dough onto a clean surface. Separate the rolls.
  4. Brush the tops of each unrolled piece of dough lightly with the heavy cream.
  5. Spread the cinnamon-sugar-butter mixture evenly over the surface of each dough piece.
  6. Sprinkle the 1/2 cup of finely crushed Oreos over the filling mixture on the dough.
  7. Roll each piece of dough tightly, starting from the short end, creating a log. Pinch the seam closed.
  8. Slice each log into one-inch thick rolls. Place the rolls cut-side up in the prepared baking dish.
  9. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and cooked through.
  10. While the rolls bake, prepare the frosting: In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and butter until smooth.
  11. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until combined. Add milk one tablespoon at a time until you reach a smooth, spreadable consistency.
  12. Remove the rolls from the oven. Immediately pour the reserved icing packet over the hot rolls.
  13. Let the rolls cool for 5 minutes, then spread the homemade cream cheese frosting over the warm rolls.
  14. Sprinkle with extra crushed Oreo cookies before serving.

Notes

  • For extra gooey rolls, pour 1/2 cup of heavy cream into the bottom of the baking dish before placing the rolls inside.
  • You can make the cream cheese frosting ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to three days. Let it soften slightly before using.
  • If you want a thinner glaze instead of thick frosting, use only the icing packet and add 1 tablespoon of milk to thin it out.
