How To Make Cinnamon Rolls with Heavy Cream

1. Prep work: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and coat a casserole dish or baking dish with nonstick cooking spray or butter.

2. Assemble the cinnamon rolls: Arrange the cinnamon rolls with a little space between each roll in the prepared baking dish. Pour the heavy cream over the cinnamon roll dough, making sure to fill the gaps between the rolls.

3. Make the cinnamon sugar: In a small mixing bowl, stir the melted butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract until combined. Drizzle the brown sugar mixture evenly over the cinnamon rolls.

4. Bake: Bake cinnamon rolls for 30 minutes or until the cinnamon rolls are fluffy and golden brown.

5. Frost the cinnamon rolls: Remove the cinnamon rolls from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes. Spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the cinnamon rolls. Finally, serve these cinnamon rolls with heavy cream butter and brown sugar, and enjoy!

How To Store Cinnamon Rolls with Heavy Cream

At room temperature: Put a lid on the baking dish or cover it tightly with plastic wrap and keep it at room temperature for up to 2 days. If you're storing them, wait to spread the cream cheese frosting on the cinnamon rolls until you're ready to enjoy them.

In the fridge: Transfer the leftover cinnamon rolls to the fridge and store them for up to a week. 

In the freezer: Allow leftover cinnamon rolls to cool completely, then wrap them in plastic wrap and transfer them to a freezer-safe bag or container. Freeze cinnamon rolls for up to 2 months.

Reheating: Put the leftover cinnamon rolls into a baking dish and add an extra splash of heavy cream. Bake the cinnamon rolls at 350°F for 8-10 minutes or until they reach your desired temperature. You can also microwave a single cinnamon roll for 10-15 seconds to warm it up. Allow frozen cinnamon rolls to thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
