I have never really caught on to the TikTok craze. I have the app, and I have tried it, but I’m still a Pinterest gal. However, I may be a convert after trying the recipe for TikTok Cinnamon Rolls.
My cousin told me about this recipe months ago. I finally got around to trying them when I had all the family at home for Christmas. They are fabulous and so very easy! They stay moist and gooey, and the whole cinnamon roll is like the best part, the center.
Don’t get me wrong, I still love a homemade cinnamon roll made with fresh homemade yeast dough but to be honest, I may have made them five times in my adult life. There aren’t even many local bakeries that can offer a moist, delicious cinnamon roll. I recently had one so dry I had to throw it away.
This TikTok recipe starts with two cans of Grands! Cinnamon Rolls. The trick to keeping them moist is the cream. Adding the extra cinnamon and brown sugar makes them even more decadent, and then topping with a luscious cream cheese frosting takes them over the top!
It’s not a recipe you want to make daily, but they are a wonderful treat for a weekend breakfast.
TikTok Cinnamon Rolls
Ingredients
- 2 5-count cans Grands! Cinnamon Rolls
- 3/4 to 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 6 tablespoons salted butter
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 teaspoon cinnamon
- frosting from both cans of cinnamon rolls
- 3 ounces cream cheese softened
- 1/3 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 9x13-inch casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray, set aside.
- Place the rolls in the dish, sides touching. The rolls will be crowded in the dish, but this is good.
- Pour the cream around the cinnamon rolls, into the bottom of the dish, making sure cream is around each roll.
- In a medium microwave-safe bowl melt 6 tablespoons butter. Remove from microwave and add 1/2 cup brown sugar and 2 teaspoons cinnamon. Stir until mixed well and smooth. Drizzle over the top of rolls. Cover with foil.
- Bake in preheated oven for 30 to 38 minutes. Remove from oven and cool for 15 minutes.
- While the rolls are baking, beat cream cheese, reserved frosting from cinnamon rolls cans, and powdered sugar until creamy. Set aside until ready to spread on rolls.
- Top with cream cheese frosting and spread to coat. Serve warm.
