Make the famous viral TikTok Cinnamon Rolls using refrigerated dough and heavy cream. This simple hack results in incredibly soft, gooey, bakery-style cinnamon rolls with almost no extra effort. Perfect for a quick breakfast or sweet brunch treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (12.4 ounce) can refrigerated cinnamon rolls (such as Pillsbury Grands)
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 package cream cheese frosting (from the can)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. Open the can of refrigerated cinnamon rolls. Place the rolls into the prepared baking dish, leaving a small space between each roll.
  3. Pour the heavy whipping cream evenly over the cinnamon rolls in the pan.
  4. In a small bowl, mix the melted butter and brown sugar together until combined. Drizzle this mixture over the rolls and the cream in the pan.
  5. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and cooked through. The heavy cream will absorb and create a moist base.
  6. Remove the dish from the oven. Immediately spread the cream cheese frosting packets over the hot rolls so the frosting melts slightly.
  7. Let the rolls cool for a few minutes before serving warm.

Notes

  • For extra gooey centers, ensure the rolls are not touching when placed in the pan; the cream needs space to soak around them.
  • If you prefer a thicker frosting, you can make your own by mixing 4 ounces softened cream cheese, 1/4 cup softened butter, 1 cup powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth.
  • This recipe works best with the larger, jumbo-sized refrigerated rolls for maximum softness.
