Ingredients

  • 1 can Grands cinnamon rolls
  • 1/3 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/2 stick unsalted butter melted
  • 3 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp cinnamon
  • 1 heaping tbsp caramel sauce
  • Icing packet included with rolls

Instructions

Prep the Dish

  • Grease your baking dish with butter. Sprinkle a little brown sugar across the bottom, then place the cinnamon rolls inside.

Add the Cream

  • Pour the heavy cream over the top of the rolls and around the bottom so everything is nicely coated.

Make the Caramel Butter Mixture

  • In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and caramel sauce. Microwave for 15 seconds and stir until smooth.

Pour & Bake

  • Drizzle the caramel butter mixture over each cinnamon roll and around the dish.
  • Cover with foil and bake at 350°F for 25–30 minutes.
  • Remove the foil and bake an additional 5–10 minutes, until the rolls are cooked through and golden.

Finish with Icing

  • Spread the included icing on top.
  • Pro Tip: Add a small splash of heavy cream to the icing so it spreads smoothly.
