  • 2 tablespoons (30g) cream cheese, softened (optional, for enhanced icing)

  • 10 Oreo cookies, crumbled (plus extra for topping)

Directions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C).

  2. Prepare the Cinnamon Rolls:

    • Open the can of cinnamon rolls and set aside the icing packet.

    • Carefully unroll each cinnamon roll into a flat strip, ensuring the cinnamon side is facing up.

  3. Add the Oreo Filling:

    • Evenly sprinkle the crumbled Oreo cookies over the cinnamon side of each unrolled strip.

  4. Re-roll the Cinnamon Rolls:

    • Gently roll each strip back into its original shape, encasing the Oreo crumbles within.

  5. Arrange in Baking Dish:

    • Place the re-rolled cinnamon rolls into a greased 8-inch or 9-inch baking pan, leaving a small space between each roll to allow for expansion during baking.

  6. Add Heavy Cream:

    • Pour the heavy cream evenly over and around the cinnamon rolls in the pan.

  7. Bake:

    • Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and cooked through.

  8. Prepare the Icing:

    • While the rolls are baking, combine the reserved icing with the softened cream cheese in a small bowl. Mix until smooth and well-blended.

  9. Ice the Rolls:

    • Once the rolls are baked, remove them from the oven and immediately spread the cream cheese icing over the warm rolls.

  10. Garnish and Serve:

    • Sprinkle additional crumbled Oreo cookies over the iced rolls for added texture and flavor. Serve warm.

Storage/Reheating
