Notes

Be sure to check the post above for more variations, serving ideas, storage information, and more!
  • Heavy whipping cream is essential in this recipe. It creates a rich and indulgent taste that keeps the rolls moist and makes them more flavorful.
  • Use real butter and not margarine for richer and more decadent cinnamon rolls.
  • Allow the rolls to rest for a few minutes after drizzling with cream before baking the rolls. This allows the liquid time to seep into the layers, ensuring even distribution and maximum moisture.
  • Don't overcook. Keep an eye on the rolls while they're baking, as oven temperatures may vary. They should be nice and golden on top when ready.
  • The icing is an essential component of cinnamon rolls. Make extra as needed to fully cover the top. Mix together powdered or confectioners sugar, vanilla, and milk until it's smooth and pourable.
  • Serve warm. Canned cinnamon rolls with heavy cream taste best when served warm.
