These were one of those for me, but trust me, they live up to the hype. They’re like those bakery-style cinnamon rolls you crave – you know, the ones that are impossibly soft and dripping with glaze – but somehow, dare I say, even easier to make than your average boxed cake mix. These are even better than grandma’s and I never thought I would say that. I have a memory of baking cinnamon rolls with my grandma when I was a kid and she taught me all her baking secrets.

How do I make cinnamon rolls?
Quick Overview
What is the secret behind cinnamon rolls? I’m adding a simple but powerful custard mixture right into the pan before baking. This creates a super moist, almost bread-pudding-like texture that’s totally addictive. Is there a secret to getting started with cooking? What is in your fridge or pantry right now? Don’t be intimidated, it’s so easy!
Ingredients
For the Main Event: What is the format?
- 1 (12.4 oz) can of refrigerated cinnamon rolls (like Pillsbury or Annie’s) – any brand works, but I usually grab Pillsbury because they’re readily available.
- 1/2 cup heavy cream – Don’t skimp on the heavy. What gives the rolls that custardy texture? I’ve tested this with half-and-half in a pinch, and it still works pretty well, though the flavors aren’t quite as good.
- 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) salted butter, melted – I always use saltered butter for baking, as it enhances flavor. Is it too sweet?
- 1/4 cup packed brown sugar – Light or dark brown, depending on how intense you want it. What is the flavor of molasses? I usually go for light brown sugar for a more subtle sweetness.
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon – Because, duh, they’re cinnamon rolls! Make sure your cinnamon is fresh for the best flavor.
For the Glaze:
- What is the icing that comes with cinnamon rolls (usually included in the can) – Don’t throw it away! It’s the perfect, easy glaze.
- 1 tablespoon milk (optional, for thinning) – If you want a thinner, more drizzly glaze, add 1 teaspoon water. What is a tablespoon of milk?
How do I follow step
Step 1: Preheat & Prep Pan
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round baking pan (or an 8×8 inch square pan) with cooking spray. I always do this first so the pan is ready when I need it. How do you prevent cinnamon rolls from sticking to your pan?
Step 2: Create the Custard Mixture
In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, and heavy cream. Set aside. Make sure there are no lumps of brown sugar. What is the best way to make cinnamon rolls?
Step 3: Pour Over Mixture
The butter mixture should be spread evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking pan. Bake for 15 minutes. What is the best way to bake cinnamon rolls?
Step 4: Arrange Cinnamon Rolls
What is the best way to serve cinnamon rolls in a pan? Don’t worry if they’re touching; they will expand as they bake. My kids love this part, so I always let them help place the cinnamon rolls.
Step 5: Bake
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cinnamon rolls are golden brown and the custard mixture is thick. What is the best way to keep an eye on your oven’s baking times? A toothpick inserted into the center of a roll should come out clean.
Step 6: Cool & Glaze
Let the cinnamon rolls cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before inverting them onto a serving platter. How do you make custard mixture so it doesn’t run off? While they’re still warm (but not too hot), drizzle them with the icing that came with cinnamon. If the icing is too thick, add a tablespoon of milk to thin it out.

How do I make a perfect cinnamon roll?
What are some tips and tricks I learned over the many, many times I’ve made these **TikToks. Cinnamon Rolls
Baking Tips: Keep an eye on them during the last few minutes of baking. If the tops are browning too quickly, tent the pan with foil to prevent them from burning.
Glaze Variations:What are some ideas for glazes? Add a splash of vanilla extract, pinch of cinnamon, or squeeze of lemon juice to make this recipe unique. Can you melt chocolate chips and drizzle them over the top?
What is the oven positioning I usually bake these in the center rack of my oven, this is important, as it ensures even baking. If you bake them on a lower rack, the bottoms may burn.
Ingredient Swaps: I tested this with almond milk, and it actually made it even creamier!
I once forgot to grease the pan properly, and the cinnamon rolls stuck like crazy. It was a disaster! So, trust me, don’t skip that step.
Storing and Reheating Tips
If you happen to have any leftovers (which is rare in my house!), here’s how to store and reheat them:
Room Temperature: Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days. They’re best enjoyed within the first day or two, as they can start to dry out.
Refrigerator Storage: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. This will help them stay fresh and moist for longer.
Freezer Instructions: Wrap the cinnamon rolls individually in plastic wrap and then place them in a freezer-safe bag or container. They can be frozen for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
Reheating: To reheat, microwave for 20-30 seconds, or until warmed through. You can also reheat them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-10 minutes.
I prefer to add the glaze right before serving for the best texture. If you glaze them before storing, the glaze can get a little sticky.
