The Viral Cinnamon Roll Hack
How to make canned cinnamon rolls taste like Cinnabon.
40 min · 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 can Cinnamon Rolls (e.g., Pillsbury)
- ½ cup Heavy Cream
- ½ cup Brown sugar
- 1 tbsp Cinnamon
- ¼ cup Butter (melted)
- The included icing packet
Method
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Place raw cinnamon rolls in a baking dish.
- The Secret: Pour heavy cream into the gaps between rolls (fill the bottom, not the tops).
- Mix melted butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Spoon over each roll.
- Cover with foil and bake 25–30 minutes.
- Remove foil and bake 5 more minutes.
- Spread included icing on top while hot.
Chef's tip: The heavy cream is the game-changer — it makes them massive, pillowy, and gooey
