I love homemade cinnamon rolls, but I don’t love waking up at 5 AM to knead dough. Enter the Viral TikTok Cinnamon Roll Hack. By adding heavy cream to canned dough and stuffing it with strawberry filling, you get bakery-style fluffy rolls in 20 minutes. These are pink, gooey, and perfect for Valentine’s Day breakfast!
Ingredients:
- 1 can Grand’s Cinnamon Rolls (5 or 8 count).
- 1/2 cup Heavy Cream (This is the secret! It makes the dough expand and get super fluffy).
- 1/2 cup Strawberry Pie Filling (or thick Strawberry Jam).
- The Icing: The packet included in the can + 2 oz Cream Cheese (whipped together).
Instructions:
- Prep: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a round baking dish.
- Unroll: Open the can. Unroll the cinnamon strips carefully.
- Stuff: Spread a layer of strawberry filling on top of the cinnamon sugar. Roll them back up tight.
- The Hack: Place rolls in the dish. Pour the heavy cream in between the rolls (not directly on top, but around them). This steams the dough while baking.
- Bake: Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden and doubled in size.
- Frost: Mix the included icing with a little cream cheese (for richness) and spread over hot rolls.
