Ingredients
Scale
- 10 Oreo cookies (crumbled)
- 1 package Pillsbury Grands Cinnamon Rolls (5-count)
- 119 grams (4.2 oz) heavy cream
- 30 milliliters (1 fl oz) cream cheese (softened to room temperature, optional)
- Additional Oreo cookie crumbles (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C), preparing a baking surface with parchment paper for easy handling of the cinnamon rolls.
- Carefully unroll each cinnamon roll, spreading them flat with the cinnamon side facing upward to create a wide, smooth surface.
- Crush Oreo cookies into fine crumbles, ensuring a consistent texture that will distribute evenly across the dough.
- Sprinkle the Oreo crumbles generously over the exposed cinnamon layer, covering the entire surface of each rolled-out strip.
- Delicately re-roll the cinnamon strips, tucking the Oreo crumbles inside and ensuring they are fully enclosed within the dough.
- Position the rolled cinnamon rolls in an 8-inch or 9-inch baking pan, allowing slight space between each roll for expansion during baking.
- Gently pour heavy cream over and around the rolls, creating a moisture-rich environment that will enhance their texture.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, monitoring until the rolls turn a rich golden-brown color and appear fully cooked through.
- While baking, whisk the reserved icing with softened cream cheese until achieving a smooth, creamy consistency.
- Remove rolls from the oven and immediately spread the cream cheese icing generously across the top of the warm rolls.
- Garnish with additional crushed Oreo crumbles for extra crunch and visual appeal, serving immediately while warm and fresh.
Notes
- Use room temperature ingredients to ensure smooth mixing and even baking.
- Crush Oreos finely for better distribution throughout the cinnamon roll dough.
- Avoid overmixing the dough to prevent tough, dense rolls.
- Cream cheese icing can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for convenience.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute regular cinnamon rolls with gluten-free alternatives.
- Reduce baking time by 2-3 minutes if using a dark-colored baking pan to prevent burning.
- Create a dairy-free option by using plant-based cream cheese and non-dairy heavy cream.
- Add a splash of vanilla extract to the cream cheese icing for enhanced flavor complexity.
- Experiment with different cookie varieties like chocolate chip or peanut butter cookies for unique variations.
