Tik Tok Cinnamon Rolls (+Video) (2024)

Can I use any other type of cinnamon roll?

This recipe works best with Grand’s and that is the original recipe. I have not tried it with any other brand of cinnamon rolls. If you can find a similar size large cinnamon roll like Grand’s then it should be safe to use those.

Do I have to make the icing?

This is a nice jazzed up icing. If you do not want to make your own you can use the icing that comes with the cinnamon rolls themselves.

Is there anything I can add to these rolls?

For a slightly different texture and flavor you can add chopped pecans or walnuts to the brown sugar mixture before baking.

Can I use a different flavor of cinnamon roll?

Yes, you can use any flavor of the Grand’s Cinnamon Rolls that you’d like. Sometimes you can find Blueberry or Strawberry flavors. Just make sure that you are using 2 (5 count) cans.

Do I have to cover my rolls while baking?

Yes, this is an important step. This helps the rolls bake evenly and not get too brown on top before they are done. However, if they still seem a bit raw after cooking for 30 minutes, remove the foil and continue cooking until done.

How do I know when they are done?

I suggest about a 30 minute baking time but it could take a bit longer. Oven times do vary. The rack that you cook it on and the type of pan you use can all affect baking times. Stick a toothpick or a small knife into the center to judge if they are throughly baked. If it still looks a little raw, continue baking without the aluminum foil on top. Keep in mind these are a gooey type cinnamon roll though so they are meant to have a fairly soft center so use your best judgement on how well-done you want them.

How do I store leftovers?

You can store these covered in the pan at room temperature where they will keep for 1-2 days or in the refrigerator for up to 3-5 days.

Preheat the oven to 350F degrees. Spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Place the 10 cinnamon rolls into the dish. Set aside the cans of icing that come with the cinnamon rolls for later. Pour the heavy cream over the cinnamon rolls and in between each one.

In a small bowl melt 4 tablespoons of butter and stir in the brown sugar and cinnamon.

Pour the brown sugar butter mixture evenly over the cinnamon rolls.

Cover the pan with foil and place in the oven. Bake for about 30-40 minutes (or until cooked through.) Oven times do vary (see my notes in the recipe card below). Remove the rolls from the oven and set aside while preparing the icing.

In a medium bowl add the remaining 4 tablespoons of butter and the 4 ounces of cream cheese. Microwave for 30 seconds just until the butter and cream cheese are very soft. Whisk the butter and cream cheese together until well combined. Add in the 2 containers of icing that come with the cinnamon rolls. Whisk in the powdered sugar.

Spread the icing evenly over the top of the cinnamon rolls.
