I’m not on TikTok so it takes viral trends a bit longer to make their way to me, haha. Chances are if you haven’t heard of TikTok cinnamon rolls you are in the same boat. I have a killer cinnamon roll recipe that I’ve used for years but was intrigued by the doctored-up cinnamon rolls that were making their way around online. I made them, then made my own tweaks, and OH. MY. GOODNESS. You’d never know that they are made from refrigerated cinnamon rolls.

The refrigerated cinnamon rolls are coated in heavy whipping cream and a mixture of melted butter, brown sugar, cinnamon (I added extra), and vanilla (my own addition), then baked until golden. You can use whatever frosting you’d like, but I stuck with the frosting that came with the cinnamon rolls. EASY. Are you ready for the best fluffy, gooey, cinnamon-y semi-homemade, doctored-up rolls? Let’s get started!

TikTok Cinnamon ROLL Ingredients

• 2 (17-ounce) packages of Pillsbury Grands Cinnamon Rolls (each package comes with 5 jumbo cinnamon rolls plus a small container of frosting)*
• 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
• 4 Tbsp. butter
• 1/3 cup brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon vanilla

*If you use a different brand or size of cinnamon rolls you’ll most likely need to adjust the baking time since they will probably be smaller.

How To Make Viral TikTok Cinnamon Rolls

an adaption from the hundreds of videos floating around.

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and lightly spray a 9″x 13″ baking dish with nonstick spray.

Step 2: Open two packages of cinnamon rolls (try not to scare yourself when the package pops open, haha) and place cinnamon rolls in the baking dish. There will be 10 cinnamon rolls, which won’t fit perfectly in rows. I do 2 rows with 3 rolls and 2 rows with 2 rolls. Set the containers of frosting to the side.

Step 3: Pour heavy whipping cream into the bottom of the pan and in between the rolls.

Step 4: Melt butter and mix with brown sugar, cinnamon and vanilla. Pour the butter and sugar mixture over the rolls.

Step 5: Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 35 minutes. Uncover and bake an additional 5-10 minutes to allow the rolls to brown to your liking.

Step 6: Let cinnamon rolls cool for 10-15 minutes before spreading with frosting.

Serve warm.

How To Store Cinnamon Rolls

Cinnamon rolls are best served fresh but can be reheated in the microwave for a few seconds. Wrap leftover cinnamon rolls in plastic for up to 3 days.

TikTok Cinnamon Roll Adaptations

• Adjust the amount of butter/cinnamon/brown sugar glaze that you pour over the rolls. I think this amount is just right, but it’s easy to adjust to your liking.
• Sprinkle cinnamon rolls with chopped pecans before baking.
• Spread rolls with homemade cream cheese frosting (you can mix the tubs of frosting that the packages came with into the homemade frosting).
• Add pumpkin spice to the butter/cinnamon/brown sugar glaze for a fall variation. Spread with maple frosting.
