Ingredients:

• 2 cans Pillsbury cinnamon rolls (with icing)
• Heavy cream (enough to cover the bottom of the pan)
• 1 stick unsalted butter, melted
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• Optional: extra cream cheese frosting (if you want more decadence!)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Prepare the rolls: Place the cinnamon rolls snugly in a greased baking dish.
3. Add the cream: Pour enough heavy cream into the dish to just cover the bottom. This step makes the rolls incredibly soft and fluffy as they bake.
4. Make the topping: In a small bowl, mix the melted butter and brown sugar until well combined. Pour this mixture evenly over the cinnamon rolls.
5. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and cooked through.
6. Add the icing: Once baked, remove the dish from the oven and spread the icing that came with the cinnamon rolls on top. If you have extra cream cheese frosting, now’s the time to add it!
7. Serve: Let the rolls cool for a few minutes, then serve warm.

How to Serve:

• Serve warm, straight from the dish.
• Pair with fresh fruit or a side of crispy bacon for a balanced breakfast.
• Add a dusting of powdered sugar or a drizzle of maple syrup for extra sweetness.

How to Store:

• Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
• Reheat individual portions in the microwave for about 20 seconds, or pop them in the oven at 300°F for 5-7 minutes.
