This viral hack proves that you don't need to make cinnamon roll dough from scratch to achieve giant, fluffy, Cinnabon-style rolls. By pouring heavy cream over standard canned cinnamon rolls before baking, you drastically change their texture.

The heavy cream steams the rolls as they bake, preventing the bottoms from burning and making the dough incredibly tender, moist, and gooey. Combined with a quick homemade cream cheese icing upgrade, no one will believe they came from a tube.

Ingredients You Need

• 1 can (large size) refrigerated cinnamon rolls (like Pillsbury Grands)
• 1/2 cup heavy cream, warmed slightly
• 1/4 cup melted butter
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• Provided icing from the can

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.

2. Place the unbaked refrigerated cinnamon rolls evenly spaced in the baking dish.

3. Pour the warmed heavy cream directly over and around the cinnamon rolls.

4. In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Spoon this mixture generously over the top of each roll.

5. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the rolls are puffed up and golden brown.

6. Remove the foil, let cool for 5 minutes, and slather the provided icing (or make your own cream cheese frosting) over the warm rolls.
