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
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.
Pour the warm heavy cream over and around the rolls; let sit 10 minutes.
Stir together melted butter, brown sugar, cinnamon and vanilla; drizzle over the rolls.
Bake 25–30 minutes until golden and cooked through, covering with foil if browning too fast.
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.
