Ingredient Notes

  • Canned Cinnamon Rolls – be sure to use the cans that have 8 cinnamon rolls each (not the Grands!)
  • Heavy Whipping Cream – in a pinch you can use regular whipping cream
  • Brown Sugar – be sure to pack it!
  • Variations – Add chopped nuts (like pecans or walnuts) or even raisins if you like.

Storing

  • Store leftovers covered with plastic wrap or in an airtight container. You can refrigerate them but we usually leave them on the counter.
  • You can freeze leftovers but the rolls might get a bit soggy.

Expert Tips

  • Mixing the butter and brown sugar together is like when you make monkey bread.
  • Don’t skip the covering to bake part! That helps them cook all the way but stay gooey.
  • The heavy cream mixed with the brown sugar butter mixture makes a sort of gooey caramel for the rolls, almost like sticky buns but less sticky.
  • Use the icing that comes with the cinnamon rolls to drizzle over the top.

How to make TikTok Cinnamon Rolls

  1. Be sure to stir together the butter and sugar really well so the sugar almost melts into the butter.
  2. Pour the cream over the rolls in a pan – don’t forget to spray with nonstick cooking spray – and then spread the brown sugar over the top.
  3. Cover with foil so the rolls cook but stay gooey!

  1. Thanks for sharing this recipe. Most of the ones I’ve came across calls for the Grands cinnamon rolls. With a family of seven I usually get the bundle pack of the smaller ones called for in your recipe. These tasted just as good as good as the grands and it’s suitable to make for larger crowds.
