To make Pillsbury Cinnabon cinnamon rolls at home, follow these simple steps. Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and greasing a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
Next, open two cans of refrigerated cinnamon rolls and arrange them in the prepared pan, ensuring there’s room for them to rise. Pour 3/4 cup of heavy cream over and around the rolls, covering the pan’s bottom.
In a small bowl, mix 6 tablespoons of melted butter, 3/4 cup of brown sugar, and 2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon. Spoon this mixture over each roll. Cover the pan with foil and bake for 30-40 minutes until golden brown. Remove the foil in the last 5-10 minutes for a crunchier top.
While the rolls bake, prepare the frosting. Beat 2 ounces of softened cream cheese and 2 tablespoons of softened butter until smooth. Add 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract, 1 cup of powdered sugar, and the icing from the cinnamon rolls. Mix until well combined.
Once the rolls are done, let them cool for 5 minutes. Spread the prepared frosting over the warm rolls and enjoy your homemade Pillsbury Cinnabon cinnamon rolls.
