Oreo Cinnamon Rolls Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 can of Pillsbury Grands cinnamon rolls (5-count, because we’re not skimping on the good stuff)
- ½ cup (119 g) of heavy cream (for that luxurious touch)
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of cream cheese (optional, but highly recommended for the posh among us)
- 10 Oreo cookies, crumbled (plus a few more for good measure, because one does not simply have too many Oreos)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (that’s about 177°C for those of us on this side of the pond). It’s time to get things heated up!
- Open your can of cinnamon rolls with the elegance of opening a letter from the Queen. Set the included icing aside—we’ll be giving it a royal upgrade later.
- On a surface lined with parchment paper (because cleanliness is next to godliness), unroll the cinnamon rolls into long strips. Make sure the cinnamon filling is facing up, ready to receive its crown of Oreos.
- Sprinkle a generous layer of Oreo crumbles over the cinnamon filling. This is the moment where magic begins to happen.
- Carefully roll the cinnamon rolls back into shape, keeping as much of the Oreo royalty inside as possible. It’s a bit like rolling a scroll of ancient secrets.
- Place the cinnamon rolls in an 8 or 9-inch baking pan. They should be close but not too chummy; they need a bit of space to puff up.
- Drizzle the heavy cream over and around the rolls in the pan. This is what gives them that oh-so-glorious gooeyness.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and your kitchen smells like heaven.
- While the rolls are baking, mix the reserved icing with the softened cream cheese until smooth. This is your cream cheese icing of nobility.
- Once baked, anoint the tops of your Oreo cinnamon rolls with the cream cheese icing and crown with more crumbled cookies.
