    Instructions

    This is an overview of the recipe. The full instructions are below in the recipe card.

    Steps t make tiktok cinnamon rolls with text overlay with the instructions.
    1. Preheat the oven to 350°F/177°C. Lightly grease or butter a 9" x 13" baking dish.
    2. Place the 10 cinnamon rolls in a single layer at the bottom of the prepared pan.
    3. Pour the heavy cream over the top of the cinnamon rolls and in between each roll.
    4. In a small mixing bowl add 4 Tablespoons of the melted butter and stir in the brown sugar and cinnamon.
    5. Pour the brown sugar butter mixture over the cinnamon rolls.
    6. Cover the pan with foil and place it into the preheated oven. Bake for 30 minutes, and check the rolls to see if they are cooked through. ( Insert a toothpick into the center of the buns, if the toothpick comes out clean, they are cooked through. If not, bake another 5 minutes and check the center again. Oven temperatures vary and it is best to check the level of doneness.)
    7. Remove the rolls from the oven and set them aside while preparing the cream cheese icing.
    8. In a medium-sized mixing bowl add the remaining 4 Tablespoons of butter and the 4 ounces of cream cheese.
    9. Microwave for 30 seconds just until the butter and cream cheese are very soft.
    10. Whisk the butter and cream cheese together until well combined.
    11. Add in the 2 containers of icing that come with the cinnamon rolls. Whisk in the powdered sugar.
    12. Spread the icing all over the top of the cinnamon rolls. Serve!

    Storage

    These cinnamon rolls are best enjoyed the day they are made.

    Leftovers: However, leftover cinnamon rolls can be stored in a covered airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. Reheat before serving.

    Reheat: Reheat the cinnamon rolls in the microwave for 15-20 seconds or until warm. You can also reheat them in the oven at 350°F/180°C for 5-10 minutes.

    Eileen's tips for success

    Make sure that you use larger cinnamon rolls like Pillsbury Grands for this recipe.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How do you make cinnamon rolls taste homemade?

    If you ask me, the secret to making canned cinnamon rolls taste like homemade is in the heavy whipping cream. It adds some extra moisture and richness to the rolls.

    What's the difference between cinnamon rolls and cinnamon buns?

    The difference between cinnamon rolls and cinnamon buns is in the shape. Cinnamon rolls are typically rolled into a log shape and then sliced into rolls. Cinnamon buns are formed by rolling the dough into a flat rectangle and then rolling it up into a log.

    Can I make these ahead of time?

    Yes! These cinnamon rolls can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge overnight.
    Simply follow all of the recipe instructions up until it's time to bake them.
    Cover the pan with foil and place it in the fridge overnight.
    The next morning, remove the rolls from the fridge and let them sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before baking as directed.

    Variations

    • Add some extras: Try adding some raisins, nuts, or even chocolate chips to your cinnamon rolls for an extra special treat!
    • If you want an extra soft and fluffy cinnamon roll, use buttermilk in place of the heavy cream.
    • If you love pumpkin, you could add some canned pumpkin to this recipe.

    Serving Suggestions

    • Nothing better than air fryer Bacon to go alongside these delicious cinnamon rolls.
