2 Ingredients you’ll need for this recipe
What brand is best for these Cinnamon Rolls?
I have used many different canned Cinnamon Rolls for this quick little recipe hack. Pillsbury Grands Cinnamon Rolls are the best in my opinion BUT you can use any brand and this Cinnamon Roll hack will work just fine.
You need a baking dish that is not too big or your Cinnamon Rolls get crispy and hard around the edge. You also need to make sure that there is just a little room in between each roll so that it has room to expand during cooking.
Do I really need to use Heavy Cream? What alternatives are there?
You NEED to use heavy whipping cream! DO NOT USE AN ALTERNATIVE. Regular milk is not rich, thick, or creamy enough for this hack to work. It needs the extra fat to make these Grands Cinnamon Rolls even more fluffy! You will end up with soggy rolls if you use regular milk.
Did you know you can make your own cream cheese icing recipe for cinnamon rolls?
It’s super easy! If you’d like to have a thicker, richer icing you can make your own cream cheese icing very quickly. Simply blend together 8 oz. softened cream cheese with 1/2 cup powdered sugar and a splash (always start small like a tablespoon to start) of milk until smooth and creamy. Add 1/4 tsp. vanilla to jazz it up if you like!

How to make canned cinnamon rolls better!
Instructions:
After opening your can of cinnamon rolls place them into a baking dish that you have greased. I always use a light olive oil cooking spray. Notice that the rolls are barely touching the sides of the baking dish and that the rolls are touching but not squished together.
Now you can pour the heavy whipping cream over the cinnamon rolls. Make sure you cover each roll with some of the heavy cream. It really looks gross but the rolls will absorb all that moisture and will be oh so deelish!!
Now bake in the oven for 30 minutes until golden brown. Make sure your rolls are uncovered so they will bake properly.

Tips for making canned cinnamon rolls better!
These Cinnamon Rolls are so deelish BUT if you want to switch things up a bit and make these canned cinnamon rolls better…try these different flavors and add ons:
- Fresh Fruit – Berries, Bananas, Apples
- Nuts ~ any kind of nuts
- Change up the icing by using the above Cream Cheese Icing Recipe OR you can make this yummy Homemade Orange Glaze! You can also add extra cinnamon to the cream cheese icing!
- Drizzle chocolate over the top!
- Make them savory by trying some fresh crispy crumbled BACON … YUM!
- Brown Sugar ~ sprinkle over the top so that it bakes in and carmelizes and becomes oh-so yummy and gooey!
How to store leftover Cinnamon Rolls:
Use an airtight container or airtight ziplock bag. You could also just leave the cinnamon rolls in the baking dish and cover them with foil or saran wrap to make an airtight seal. Your cinnamon rolls will stay fresh for a couple of days…then they start to get mushy.
Ok, enjoy my friend!
