unluckily , we ca n’t all live within a stone ’s throw from aCinnabonlocation — and baking cinnamon rollsfrom scratchisn’t always feasible in terms of time or culinary prowess . Pillsbury ’s tush of Ceylon cinnamon scroll are a dependable choice : All you really require is a pan , an oven , and the patience to hold back for them to cool for a few minutes before you ice them . They also use actual Cinnabon Ceylon cinnamon tree filling and ointment cheeseicing .
But it does n’t take a professional food critic to notice that evenPillsbury’sbelovedbreakfasttreats have a ruffianly prison term contend with freshly baked Cinnabons when it comes tomoisture . A ready to hand hack writer to make that result recently made the round on TikTok , andKitchn ’s Patty Catalanoput it to the test .
essentially , you place all fivePillsbury Grands ! Cinnamon Rollsin the pan like you normally would . But before you toss off them in the oven , you pour half a loving cup of heavy pick mighty over them . Then bake per common , ice them after they ’ve cooled , and enjoy .
“ The leave rolls were plush , flabby , and rich , just like Cinnabon ’s ! ” Catalano write . They were still delicious when reheat the undermentioned sidereal day . She had some pointer for getting the most out of the hack , too . If your goal is to mime a Cinnabon as nearly as possible , she recommended choose for Grands ! over Pillsbury ’s smaller cinnamon bark rolls . They might need a petty longer in the oven than usual to pluck up all the cream , so if the tops are already golden - brown before they ’re in full cooked , overcompensate the genus Pan with enhancer for the respite of the baking point .
Also , feel free to double the recipe . Grilled Cheese Social ’s MacKenzie Smith — from whom Catalano first learned of the trick — double over the quantity in herTikTok(two sleeves of Grands ! for a sum of 10 rolls , and a full cup of heavy emollient ) , which seemed to work just as well .
