The viral TikTok hack: store-bought cinnamon rolls baked with heavy cream and a buttery brown sugar topping for the softest, gooiest bakery-style rolls.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cans (17.5 oz / 496 g each) large refrigerated cinnamon rolls with icing
  • ½ cup (120 ml) heavy cream, warmed
  • ½ cup (113 g) unsalted butter, melted
  • ½ cup (100 g) packed brown sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch dish and arrange the rolls with a little space between them. Set the icing aside.
  2. Pour the warm heavy cream over and around the rolls; let sit 10 minutes.
  3. Stir together melted butter, brown sugar, cinnamon and vanilla; drizzle over the rolls.
  4. Bake 25–30 minutes until golden and cooked through, covering with foil if browning too fast.
  5. Cool 5 minutes, spread with icing and serve warm with the caramel sauce from the pan.

Notes

  • Half-and-half can replace heavy cream, but the rolls will be less rich.
  • Assemble the night before and refrigerate, then bake in the morning.
