Ingredients

  • 1 5-count can of Pillsbury Grands cinnamon rolls

  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) cream cheese (optional), softened
  • 10 Oreo cookies, crumbled (plus extra for topping)

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Directions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) to get it ready for the delicious cinnamon rolls.

  2. Unroll and Fill: Unroll the cinnamon rolls onto parchment paper. Generously sprinkle the Oreo crumbles over each strip, keeping the cinnamon side facing up to infuse both the cinnamon and Oreo flavors.

  3. Roll ’em Up: Carefully re-roll the strips of dough, making sure the Oreo crumbles are securely enclosed inside. This ensures the Oreos stay in place and flavor every bite.

  4. Bake with Love: Place the rolled-up cinnamon rolls in a baking pan. Evenly pour the heavy cream over the rolls, and bake them for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.

  5. Icing on the Cake: While the rolls are baking, prepare the cream cheese icing by blending the reserved icing from the cinnamon rolls with cream cheese until smooth.

  6. Serve and Enjoy: Once the cinnamon rolls are baked to golden perfection, drizzle the cream cheese icing over the top. Sprinkle additional Oreo crumbles on top and serve immediately for the best taste and texture.

FAQs

1. Can I make these cinnamon rolls ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare them up to the baking stage, cover them tightly, and refrigerate overnight. In the morning, bake them as directed.

2. How do I prevent the Oreos from spilling out while rolling?

Make sure to roll the dough tightly but gently to avoid spilling. Ensure the Oreo crumbles are spread evenly along the dough before rolling it up.

3. Can I use a different brand of cinnamon rolls?

Yes, any similar pre-made cinnamon rolls will work for this recipe, but Pillsbury Grands are recommended for their large size and texture.

4. How can I make the icing less sweet?

If you find the icing too sweet, reduce the amount of icing that comes with the cinnamon rolls and add more cream cheese to balance out the sweetness.

5. Can I freeze Oreo-Stuffed Cinnamon Rolls?

Yes, you can freeze the unbaked rolls before baking. Simply wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil, then bake directly from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.

6. Can I use a different cookie instead of Oreos?

Sure! You can substitute Oreos with any cookie of your choice, such as chocolate chip cookies or even Biscoff cookies, for a unique flavor.

7. What should I do if I don’t have heavy cream?

If you don’t have heavy cream, you can substitute it with whole milk or a non-dairy milk, though the texture may be slightly different.

8. How can I make these rolls fluffier?

To make the rolls even fluffier, make sure to handle the dough gently and don’t overwork it. If you prefer homemade dough, you can use a soft cinnamon roll dough recipe for extra fluff.

9. Can I serve these cinnamon rolls with ice cream?

Absolutely! They pair wonderfully with vanilla ice cream or any ice cream flavor you prefer for an indulgent dessert.

10. How can I make the rolls extra gooey?

Add more heavy cream before baking, and consider drizzling some extra sweetened condensed milk over the rolls just before baking to make them extra gooey.

Conclusion

These Oreo-Stuffed Cinnamon Rolls are a must-try for anyone who loves indulgent, comforting treats. Combining the soft, warm cinnamon rolls with the crunchy sweetness of Oreos, and finishing it off with a creamy icing, this recipe will leave everyone asking for more. Whether you serve it for breakfast, brunch, or dessert, this recipe is sure to impress. Enjoy the sweet, decadent goodness in every bite!
