Ingredients
For the Cinnamon Rolls:
- 1 can (5-count) Pillsbury Grands cinnamon rolls (or similar brand)
- ½ cup (119 g) heavy cream (for extra moisture and fluffiness)
- 10 Oreo cookies, crumbled (plus additional for garnish)
For the Cream Cheese Icing:
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) cream cheese, softened (optional but recommended)
- Reserved icing from the cinnamon rolls
Equipment Needed
- 9Ă—9 baking dish (or similar size)
- Parchment paper (optional but helpful for easy cleanup)
- Mixing bowl
- Spatula or spoon
Step-by-Step Directions
1. Preheat Your Oven
Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and allow it to preheat. This ensures even baking and perfectly golden rolls.
2. Prepare Your Baking Dish
Grease the bottom and sides of your baking dish with butter or non-stick spray. For easier cleanup, line the dish with parchment paper.
3. Unroll the Cinnamon Rolls
- Carefully remove the cinnamon rolls from the can, reserving the icing for later.
- Gently unroll each roll onto a flat surface, such as a clean counter or parchment paper, keeping the cinnamon-sugar side facing up.
4. Add the Oreo Crumbles
- Sprinkle Crumbs: Evenly distribute 10 crumbled Oreo cookies across the cinnamon-sugar side of each strip. Be generous—this is where the magic happens!
- Optional Layering Tip: For extra crunch, press the crumbles lightly into the dough so they stick during rolling.
5. Roll Them Back Up
- Carefully roll each strip back into its original shape, ensuring the Oreo crumbles remain tucked inside.
- Place the rolls, seam-side down, into the prepared baking dish to maintain their structure while baking.
6. Add the Heavy Cream
- Pour ½ cup of heavy cream evenly over the rolls in the dish. This step makes the rolls extra soft, moist, and gooey as they bake.
7. Bake to Golden Perfection
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the rolls are puffed up and golden brown on top.
- Keep a close eye during the last few minutes to prevent overbaking.
8. Prepare the Cream Cheese Icing
- While the rolls bake, mix the reserved cinnamon roll icing with 2 tablespoons of softened cream cheese in a small bowl. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
- Optional: Add a splash of vanilla extract or a pinch of powdered sugar for extra flavor.
9. Finish with Oreo Magic
- Remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool for 2–3 minutes.
- Generously drizzle the cream cheese icing over the warm rolls, letting it ooze into every crevice.
- Top with extra Oreo crumbles for a deliciously crunchy finish.
Serving Suggestions
- These rolls are best served warm to highlight their gooey texture and rich flavors.
- Pair with a glass of cold milk, hot coffee, or even a decadent hot chocolate.
Storage and Reheating Tips
- Storage: Place leftovers in an airtight container. Keep at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- Reheating: Warm rolls in the microwave for 10–15 seconds to regain their soft, fresh-out-of-the-oven texture.
Tips for Perfect Oreo-Stuffed Cinnamon Rolls
- Experiment with Oreo Flavors: Swap traditional Oreos for flavored varieties like Golden Oreos, Mint Oreos, or Peanut Butter Oreos to customize the flavor.
- Extra Gooey Rolls: For even softer rolls, use up to Âľ cup of heavy cream.
