Baking Instructions
- Set the Stage: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Gently coat a 9×13-inch baking dish with a non-stick baking spray.
- Dough Arrangement: Unpack the cinnamon roll dough. Neatly place them in the baking dish, ensuring they’re spaced out, offering room to expand. Preserve the provided icing for later use.
- Creamy Layer: Drizzle the heavy cream over the cinnamon rolls, making sure it floods the base of the dish.
- Sweet Glaze Preparation: In a separate bowl, meld together the melted butter, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon. Once thoroughly mixed, generously ladle or drizzle this concoction over the cinnamon rolls. Shield the dish with aluminum foil.
- Baking Time: Place them in the oven for a span of 30-40 minutes. The rolls should achieve a light golden hue and be thoroughly cooked. For added browning, consider peeling off the foil for the concluding 5-10 minutes of the baking session.
- Icing Magic: In a mixing bowl, whip together the softened cream cheese and butter using a hand mixer until you achieve a silky-smooth consistency. Introduce vanilla extract and the preserved cinnamon roll icing to the mix. After ensuring a thorough mix, fold in the powdered sugar until fully integrated.
- Final Touch: Post baking, allow the cinnamon rolls a brief cooling period of 3-5 minutes. Crown them with your freshly prepared icing. For best enjoyment, serve them warm and savor every bite!
