Time Needed

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 35 minutes
Total Time: 45 minutes
Servings: 10 rolls

Ingredients

2 cans Pillsbury Grands Cinnamon Rolls
1 cup plus 3 tablespoons heavy whipping cream, divided
½ cup unsalted butter
1 cup brown sugar
Included cinnamon roll frosting (from the package)

Step-by-Step Instructions

Prepare the baking dish Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly coat a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter. Pour 1 cup of heavy cream into the bottom of the pan — this will be the secret to your gooey rolls.
Add the cinnamon rolls Place the unbaked cinnamon rolls evenly over the cream. They’ll expand beautifully as they bake, absorbing all that rich liquid.
Make the caramel butter topping In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt butter and brown sugar until smooth and combined. Stir in the remaining 3 tablespoons of cream and whisk until glossy.
Pour and bake Pour the buttery brown sugar mixture evenly over the cinnamon rolls. Bake for 25–30 minutes, until the tops are golden and the cream mixture has thickened into caramel.
Frost and serve Remove from the oven and cool for 5 minutes. Use the included frosting packet to drizzle generously over each roll. Spoon extra caramel sauce from the pan over the tops for maximum gooeyness.

Variations to Try

Pecan Caramel Swirl: Sprinkle chopped pecans over the top before baking for nutty crunch.
Apple Cinnamon Dream: Add thinly sliced apples under the rolls for a fall-inspired twist.
Pumpkin Spice Rolls: Mix a teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice into the butter mixture for a seasonal upgrade.
Chocolate Drizzle: After frosting, add a warm drizzle of melted chocolate for extra decadence.

Tips from Chef Emma

Use Pillsbury Grands for the fluffiest, bakery-style results.
If the sauce seems runny, don’t worry — it thickens as it cools and can be spooned over each serving.
Reheat leftovers in the microwave at 50% power for 60–90 seconds to keep them tender.
These rolls taste even better the next morning, so go ahead and make them ahead!
