    How do you make cinnamon rolls better?

    If you're wondering how do you doctor up canned cinnamon rolls, you're in the right place! These Oreo cinnamon rolls Tiktok inspired me to try include bit of heavy cream to help them bake up golden brown and soft, just like homemade cinnamon rolls! And in addition to the Oreos inside the fluffy dough, we'll add even more crushed Oreos on top! The Oreo crumbs add a nice crunch to balance out the softness of the classic cinnamon roll texture!

    Oreo Cinnamon Bun Ingredients

    This Pillsbury Oreo cinnamon rolls recipe is so easy! Here's your shopping list:

    • Pillsbury Grands cinnamon rolls - use the 5-count can of Grands cinnamon rolls for best results -- this is the easiest way to make the best Oreo cinnamon rolls Tiktok inspired! Or feel free to use any canned jumbo cinnamon rolls you like, and see below for tips on making vegan Oreo cinnamon rolls!
    • crushed Oreo cookies - the best part! I make these Oreo rolls with lots of crushed Oreo cookies, plus even more for topping for major Oreo lovers! You can crush your Oreos in a plastic bag with a rolling pin, or in a food processor on medium speed.
    • heavy cream - This is the secret to these Oreo cream cinnamon rolls! Adding the richness of heavy cream before baking turns canned sweet rolls into the most fluffy cinnamon rolls ever!

    What is the frosting on cinnamon rolls made of?

    The cream cheese frosting for these Oreo cinnamon rolls is so easy! All you'll need to do is combine softened cream cheese with the icing that comes with the Pillsbury cinnamon rolls to make a delicious cream cheese glaze! Your cream cheese should be room temperature to make it easier to mix.

    You can also just use the icing that comes with the canned rolls, but I love the extra creaminess of this method!

    Equipment

    You won't need too many tools for this Oreo cinnamon rolls recipe -- just an 8-inch baking pan or a 9-inch baking pan should work. You can also use a cake pan or even a pie pan -- whatever you have! You may also want to use a rolling pin to crush your Oreo cookies.

    Instructions

    Check the recipe card below for detailed instructions, but here are the basic steps for these Oreo cookie cinnamon rolls!

    step one of Oreo Cinnamon Rolls recipe

    Unroll canned cinnamon rolls out on a surface that has been lined with parchment paper (save the icing for later). Sprinkle crushed Oreo bits onto their cinnamon filling, then roll them back up into their original shape.

    step two of Oreo Cinnamon Rolls recipe

    Place rolls in an 8- or 9-inch baking dish sprayed with cooking spray and pour heavy cream evenly over the top of the dough. Bake them until they're golden brown and fluffy.

    step three of Oreo Cinnamon Rolls recipe

    Mix together softened cream cheese and the cinnamon roll icing in a small bowl until smooth.

    step four of Oreo Cinnamon Rolls recipe

    Spread over the top of warm cinnamon rolls after baking, and enjoy!

    Hint: Top your easy Oreo rolls with even more crumbled Oreo cookies!

    Substitutions

    • You can definitely omit the cream cheese and just use the icing that comes with the cinnamon rolls!
    • Even better cream cheese glaze: try the brown butter cream cheese glaze from my Apple Pie Cinnamon Rolls recipe!
    • Vegan Oreo Cinnamon Rolls - since Oreos are vegan-friendly, you can use this method with your favorite vegan sweet roll recipe, or use canned rolls with vegan-friendly ingredients like those from Immaculate Baking Company.

    • You can also use this method with my Puff Pastry Cinnamon Rolls recipe!

    Storage

    These cinnamon rolls are best stored in the fridge in an airtight container -- they'll stay fresh in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, but they're best enjoyed room temperature or slightly warm, for the most gooey cookies and cream rolls!

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Why are my cinnamon rolls dry and hard?

    If you poured heavy cream onto the cinnamon roll dough before baking, they should come out soft and fluffy. If yours are dry and hard, you may have overbaked your cinnamon rolls. Be sure to begin checking them at 20 minutes.

    Should cinnamon rolls touch when baking?

    Your Oreo sweet rolls should be touching, but not too close together, since they will expand while they bake.

    How do you know when cinnamon rolls are done?

    These cookies and cream cinnamon rolls are ready when they're golden brown on top. If you baked them close together in the pan, they may need a few extra minutes to be fully done.
