Description
Homemade classic cinnamon roll delight promises warm comfort from German baking traditions. Sweet spirals combine buttery dough with rich cinnamon swirls, inviting you to savor each delectable bite.
Ingredients
- 1 (8-count) tube refrigerated cinnamon rolls
- ½ cup (120 ml) brown sugar
- ¼ cup (60 ml) butter, melted
- 1 can cream cheese frosting
- ⅓ cup (80 ml) heavy cream
- ¼ cup (30 g) chopped pecans
- 1.5 tsps Ceylon cinnamon
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preparation: Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C) and generously grease a baking dish with butter or non-stick spray, creating a perfect non-stick surface for the rolls.
- Assembly: Arrange cinnamon rolls in a single, elegant layer within the dish, allowing them just enough space to expand and bake evenly, then gently pour heavy cream around and between the pastries to create a luxurious, moisture-rich environment.
- Flavor Enhancement: Craft a rich, aromatic mixture by blending melted unsalted butter, dark brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and pure vanilla extract, whisking until the ingredients form a smooth, fragrant coating.
- Coating and Baking: Drizzle the decadent butter-sugar mixture generously over the rolls, ensuring each pastry is thoroughly enrobed, then transfer the dish to the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes until the rolls achieve a golden-brown perfection and the cream transforms into a bubbling, indulgent sauce.
- Finishing Touches: Once removed from the oven, allow the rolls to rest briefly on a wire rack, letting the sauce slightly thicken and intensify in flavor, then lavishly apply the cream cheese frosting and vanilla icing across the warm rolls.
- Presentation: Sprinkle chopped pecans over the top, adding a delightful crunch and nutty dimension, then serve immediately while the rolls are still warm, inviting guests to savor the gooey, aromatic masterpiece at its most tantalizing moment.
Notes
Maximize Cream Coverage: Pour heavy cream carefully around rolls to ensure every pastry absorbs the rich, creamy liquid for maximum moisture and flavor intensity.
Prevent Overcrowding: Space cinnamon rolls evenly in the baking dish to allow proper heat circulation and consistent golden-brown coloring.
Sugar-Butter Mixture Magic: Drizzle the melted butter and brown sugar blend thoroughly to create a caramelized coating that enhances the rolls’ depth and sweetness.
Cooling is Crucial: Allow rolls to rest 5-7 minutes after baking, letting the sauce thicken and develop a luscious, sticky texture that elevates the dessert’s overall indulgence.
