With just a few simple ingredients and minimal prep, you can transform store-bought cinnamon rolls into a rich, unforgettable treat.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

This recipe takes classic cinnamon rolls to the next level with the addition of a cookies-and-cream twist. The crushed Oreos baked inside create a soft, chocolaty core, while the heavy cream ensures extra moisture and softness. Finished with a cream cheese icing and more Oreo crumbles, each bite is a blend of buttery, sweet, and tangy goodness. It’s an easy upgrade that feels gourmet but takes less than 40 minutes from start to finish.

1 can (5-count) Pillsbury Grands cinnamon rolls
½ cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons cream cheese, softened (optional)
10 Oreo cookies, crumbled (plus extra for topping)

directions

Preparation: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Unroll and Fill: Carefully unroll each cinnamon roll on parchment paper with the cinnamon side facing up. Sprinkle a generous amount of crumbled Oreos along each unrolled strip.
Roll ’em Up: Gently roll each strip back up to encase the Oreo filling.

Prepare Icing: While the rolls bake, combine the included icing packet with the softened cream cheese. Mix until smooth.
Serve and Enjoy: Drizzle the icing over the warm rolls and sprinkle with additional crushed Oreos. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.

Variations

Double-Stuffed: Use Double Stuf Oreos for an extra creamy filling.
Chocolate Drizzle: Add a drizzle of melted chocolate or chocolate syrup on top for an even richer finish.
Nutty Crunch: Mix in chopped walnuts or pecans with the Oreo filling for texture.
Mini Version: Use smaller cinnamon rolls and cut them in half to create bite-sized rolls for parties or brunch buffets.
Vanilla Glaze: Replace the cream cheese icing with a simple powdered sugar and vanilla extract glaze for a lighter topping.

storage/reheating

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave for 15–20 seconds per roll or in the oven at 300°F (150°C) for 5–7 minutes. For best results, store icing separately and drizzle after reheating to preserve the texture.

FAQs

Can I use homemade cinnamon rolls instead of store-bought?

Yes, homemade dough can be used. Simply follow the same filling and baking steps after preparing your own rolls.

What happens if I skip the heavy cream?

The rolls may be slightly drier. The heavy cream creates a soft, moist texture while baking.

Can I freeze these rolls?

Yes, you can freeze them before or after baking. Thaw and reheat before serving. For best results, freeze without icing and add it fresh after reheating.

Is the cream cheese in the icing necessary?

It’s optional but adds a tangy contrast that complements the sweetness of the rolls and Oreos.

Can I make these in advance?

You can assemble the rolls a few hours ahead and store them in the refrigerator before baking. Add the cream just before placing in the oven.

Are other cookie types okay to use?

Yes, try using chocolate chip cookies, peanut butter cookies, or even graham crackers for a different flavor profile.

Can I bake these in a muffin tin?

Yes, muffin tins can be used to create individually portioned rolls. Adjust baking time slightly as needed.

How do I prevent the rolls from unraveling?

Roll them tightly and place them closely together in the pan to support each other during baking.

Are these suitable for kids?

Yes, though they do contain a lot of sugar. Consider reducing the icing or using fewer Oreos for a milder version.

What’s the best way to crush Oreos?

Use a food processor for fine crumbs or place them in a sealed bag and crush with a rolling pin for chunkier pieces.

Conclusion

Oreo-Stuffed Cinnamon Rolls are a sweet and indulgent treat that transforms an ordinary breakfast item into an extraordinary dessert-like experience. Whether you’re hosting a holiday brunch, treating yourself to a weekend delight
