What you need to make the viral cinnamon rolls
So you’ve watched the videos and tutorials on TikTok, now it is time to make a trip to the grocery store. Here’s what you’ll need on your list:
- Store Bought Cinnamon Rolls. If you are going for that sweet Cinnabon taste, I recommend using the Pillsbury Cinnabon Rolls. However, any brand will work just fine.
- Heavy Cream. The noble ingredient of the day, don’t forget the cream! Due to the high fat content, this is where you’ll get the moisture for your goods.
- Butter. You can also use this to base the pan prior to laying the dough, this will act as a nonstick alternative.
Extra ingredients for extra goodness
These ingredients are not necessarily needed to bake the dish but they will improve your experience!
- Nonstick Spray. Glaze your pan to prevent burning and uneven cooking.
- Cinnamon. The more the merrier!
- Brown Sugar. Deepens flavor and adds sweetness, use for a super savory flavor.
How to make the viral cinnamon rolls
- Preheat oven to specified temperature setting according to the package directions. This may be anywhere from 350-375℉.
- Line baking dish with ½ cup of the butter (or nonstick spray) and evenly array the rolls leaving space between them.
- Pour the heavy cream over the rolls, making sure to give each roll a good layer and fill the pan along the bottom.
- Combine the remaining butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a small mixing bowl. Pour mixture over all of the rolls. This step is optional but highly suggested!
- Bake the cinnamon rolls for 25-30 minutes, checking on the dish after about 20 minutes to see how it is baking.
- Remove the rolls from the oven and make sure that they are cooked all the way through. The rolls should be moist, light, and fluffy. Spread the frosting included in your cinnamon roll packet and serve warm. Enjoy!
