Tips for TikTok Cinnamon Rolls:

  • Baking Dish – Spray baking dish with cooking spray to prevent the cinnamon rolls from sticking.
  • Single Layer – Place the cinnamon rolls in a single layer in the baking dish so they cook evenly.
  • Heavy Cream – Pour the cup of heavy cream over the cinnamon rolls. Make sure that that it gets into the cinnamon roll layers for best results.
  • Cover with Foil – To prevent the cinnamon rolls from burning, we recommend coving the baking dish with foil. Then with 10 minutes remaining remove the foil to continue cooking.
  • Cream Cheese Frosting – We love mixing the cinnamon roll icing with the cream cheese and butter. It gives the cinnamon rolls so much rich flavor. Keep the frosting at room temperature to easily pour over the cinnamon rolls.
  • Single Can of Cinnamon Rolls – In this recipe, we used two cans of cinnamon rolls and placed in a 9×13 pan. You can easily make it in an 8×8 pan with one can of cinnamon rolls.

Why pour milk on cinnamon rolls before baking? ›

What is a substitute for heavy cream in cinnamon rolls? ›

Heavy Cream: Using heavy cream will produce the most deliciously gooey cinnamon rolls (think Cinnabon level gooey) so this is recommended. However, half and half, coffee creamer, whole milk or coconut cream will also work. Brown Sugar: Maple sugar or regular granulated sugar will also work well.

Is heavy whipping cream the same as heavy cream? ›

Is Heavy Cream the Same as Heavy Whipping Cream? Yes, heavy cream and heavy whipping cream are the exact same thing. The confusion lies in the fact that they're sold by different brands under two different names.

Can I use evaporated milk instead of heavy cream? ›

Evaporated milk can be used as a substitute in recipes in which heavy cream is used as a liquid ingredient, such as in baked goods, but it doesn't whip well. Substitute the heavy cream in your recipes with an equal amount of evaporated milk.

Is half-and-half the same as heavy cream? ›

According to the FDA, half-and-half contains between 10.5 percent to 18 percent milk fat, while heavy cream contains between 36 percent and 40 percent milk fat. Because heavy cream contains more fat, it is thicker and has a richer taste and a creamier mouthfeel than half-and-half.

Should the cinnamon rolls touch or be kept apart while baking? ›

Give Your Rolls Space

Place the formed cinnamon rolls on a baking sheet 1-2 inches apart to ensure an even, full rise.

Can you use half-and-half instead of heavy cream? ›

So, if you're cooking something forgiving like soup or mashed potatoes, heavy cream and half-and-half are virtually interchangeable in equal amounts, yes—both will give you that creamy texture we all love and crave. Just be mindful that heavy cream contains more fat, so it will taste much richer.

What is the secret ingredient in Cinnabon? ›

Cinnabon's Secret Ingredient

This special Indonesian cinnamon, called Makara, is trademarked by Cinnabon. And because of that trademark, you won't find this product in your local grocery store spice aisle.

Why are my cinnamon rolls not fluffy? ›

For the fluffiest cinnamon rolls, make sure you allow your dough to rise for at least 90 minutes for the first rise. For the second rise, a good 30 minutes works. I see a lot of recipes - including a few of mine - say 60 minutes minimum for the first rise.

What can I add if I don't have heavy cream? ›

Milk and Butter

Similarly to half-and-half, milk makes a good heavy cream substitute when it's combined with melted butter. Combine 3/4 cup milk and 1/4 cup melted butter for every cup of heavy cream.

How do you upgrade cinnamon rolls? ›

Simply place a piece of cooked bacon inside your cinnamon rolls and bake. Perfect for any lazy-morning breakfast! Strawberries and Nutella™ were meant to be eaten together, and when you add cinnamon rolls into the mix, things get even tastier!

How do you doctor up cinnamon rolls in a can? ›

If you want to go for a stronger or more unique flavor, consider adding some nutmeg, pumpkin pie spice, or allspice into your brown sugar and butter mixture. Once you've spread the filling over the dough, roll the cinnamon rolls back up and bake them.

Why is my cinnamon roll gummy? ›

Don't Overbake Cinnamon Rolls

Overbaked cinnamon rolls are tough and chewy instead of light and pillowy. Since it can be a bit tricky to know when rolls are fully baked, use a digital thermometer. Bake cinnamon rolls until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches between 190°and 200°F.

What does adding heavy cream do? ›

It's an excellent thickener/enricher for soups and sauces, especially since cream (as opposed to half and half) will not curdle when boiled. Heavy cream is also used for ice cream, frostings and as a topper for desserts because when whipped, it can be piped and hold its shape.

What does heavy cream do in baking? ›

Heavy cream is a good choice when decorating pies or cakes, or for thickening sauces and ganache. Heavy cream is also great for making ice cream and soup. Whipping cream is a bit lighter since it contains less fat than heavy cream, and has about 30 to 36 percent milk fat.

Why do you use heavy cream in baking? ›

It whips better and holds its shape longer than its whipping cream counterpart, which is why it's used for everything from pastry fillings to pipings. It has a long shelf life in the fridge and can even be frozen and used in a heavy cream recipe later on.

What does heavy cream do to baked goods? ›

Heavy cream has too much fat. If you're doing a cake or something similar, the result will probably be very dense. If the recipe calls for milk and butter, you can replace 3/4 cups of water + 1/3 to 1/4 cup butter for 1 cup of heavy milk. I've done it with some success, it's not perfect but it'll do in a pinch.
