Ingredients
Scale
Dough and Filling
- 1 package (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
Icing
- 1/4 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1-2 tablespoons milk (to reach desired icing consistency)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking the cinnamon rolls evenly.
- Prepare the dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough onto a lightly floured surface and press the seams together carefully to form one continuous sheet of dough.
- Make the filling: In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and ground cinnamon. Brush the melted butter evenly over the dough surface, then sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly on top.
- Roll the dough: Starting from one edge, roll the dough tightly into a log shape ensuring the filling stays inside.
- Cut the rolls: Slice the dough log into 8 equal-sized pieces using a sharp knife, then place them evenly spaced in a greased round baking dish or on a baking sheet.
- Bake: Bake the cinnamon rolls for 12 to 15 minutes in the preheated oven, until they are golden brown and puffed up.
- Make the icing: While the rolls bake, in a small bowl mix softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and 1 to 2 tablespoons of milk. Stir until the icing is smooth and creamy with your desired consistency.
- Serve: Remove the cinnamon rolls from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Drizzle the cream cheese icing over the warm rolls and serve immediately for the best taste.
Notes
- Ensure the dough is well pressed to avoid gaps when rolling.
- You can adjust the amount of cinnamon and sugar to your preference for sweetness and spice.
- Use full-fat cream cheese for a richer icing.
- Let the rolls cool slightly before icing to prevent the cream cheese from melting too much.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute cream cheese and butter with plant-based alternatives.
