TikTok Cinnamon Roll Hack

 




My sister and I were out and about the other day and she said to me, "Have you tried the TikTok Cinnamon Roll Hack?"   I said that no, I hadn't.  She said to me that they were fabulously delicious and I really needed to.


She had made them last week for she and Dan to snack on while they watched the season end of Survivor.

I am not one to follow trends, or even TikTok for that matter, but when my sister tells me something is really good.  I know that it must be fantastic and so I picked up everything I needed to make them right that day.


Bonus, the Cinnamon Roll Dough was on Special.  Bonus!


This viral TikTok Cinnamon roll hack uses only two ingredients and is supposed to make Cinnamon rolls that taste just as good as Cinnabon Cinnamon Rolls.

As I said, I am not one to follow trends or TikTok, but when I got home I did a search to see if I could find out a bit more about this recipe. I discovered a recipe on a page which looked quite reputable called Grilled Cheese Social


I wanted to double check on bake temperatures and times.

Apparently this Cinnamon Roll Hack is supposed to make Cinnamon rolls that are every bit as delicious as Cinnabon's.  True confession here. I have never had a Cinnabon roll.



Another true confession. I have never liked any store bought Cinnamon Roll. They always taste stale to me.  Unless you get them right out of the oven, to me they have always been most disappointing. I have always preferred my Mom's Cinnamon Rolls.

Mom made her Cinnamon Rolls using Biscuit dough.  I always did the same. They were so quick and easy to whip up and they were a favorite night snack for my children.

I wish I had a dollar for every one of Mom's Cinnamon Rolls I baked for my children through the years. I would be really wealthy. My children now make them for my grandchildren!


I thought this was worth a go however.  I did cut the recipe in half because one, I am only one person living on their own, and two,  if they were as good as everyone said they were, I just did not need the temptation of a full 10 cinnamon rolls sitting on my kitchen counter.

    WHAT YOU NEED TO MAKE TIKTOK CINNAMON ROLL HACK (SMALL BATCH)

Only two simple ingredients and a baking dish. Its easy, really.


  • 1 can Grands Cinnabon Cinnamon Rolls (refrigerated, makes 5 rolls) (In the UK, use refrigerated JusRol Cinnamon roll dough.)
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) heavy (whipping) cream

TikTok Cinnamon Roll Hack 





I used the Pillsbury brand of Cinnamon roll dough, the Grands Cinnabon version. One can makes five rolls and they come with a small container of icing right in the can.

I cannot speak for making it with the cheaper brands, or store name brands. In the UK, the JusRol dough would work fine. I have used that before many times to make cinnamon rolls and it is very good.

Use double/heavy/whipping cream. Not coffee cream or half and half.

HOW TO MAKE TIKTOK CINNAMON ROLL HACK (SMALL BATCH)

I could not believe how very easy these were to make.  A real doddle!  So easy I am almost ashamed to share it, but then again, why not share it!




Preheat the oven to 350*F/180*C/ gas mark 4. Have ready a 9-inch round deep dish pie dish. Spray it well with baking spray.


Open your can of cinnamon rolls. Set the icing aside.


Separate the cinnamon rolls and place them into the pie dish. Pour the cream around and over the rolls.


Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, until done and golden brown. Remove from the oven and let stand for 10 minutes.


Spread the icing over top of the warm cinnamon rolls. Don't do this while they are hot or it will just melt.  Enjoy! Store any leftovers, covered tightly.

Never having had a Cinnabon Cinnamon Roll I cannot say with any surety that these are like them, but I can tell you that they are pretty damn good!  Best Cinnamon Rolls other than homemade that I have ever eaten.


They were lovely and soft inside, even 24 hours later!  I ate one on the day, then I had some people come to work in my garden and I gave three to them. I ate the last one this morning for my breakfast and it was just as delicious as it was yesterday when I baked them.



High accolade indeed. You really need to try them. Your family will love you for it!

If you are a fan of cinnamon anything, you have come to the right place. I have loads of Cinnamon recipes here in The English Kitchen. Here are a few of my favorites that you might enjoy! 


AIR FRYER CINNAMON ROLLS (SMALL BATCH) - Refrigerator Cinnamon Rolls baked in the air fryer.  Yes you can!  These turned out light, fluffy and delicious! Crisp on the outside with a delicious flaky crumb inside with beautiful cinnamon layers. Quick, easy and a great way to start out your day.


CINNAMON ROLLS (YEAST) SMALL BATCH - This delicious small batch recipe makes sic beautiful, light and fluffy yeasted cinnamon rolls from scratch.  The perfect recipe for when you have the time, and want to bake something fabulously tasty for your small family!  I think any more than six is a waste anyways, unless you have a really large family, as most yeasted breads go stale very quickly.


QUICK AND EASY CINNAMON ROLL WAFFLES - Hang onto your hats!  These are fabulous. Crisp, golden brown, and cinnamony, with plenty of lovely crisp little dimples to hug all of that sweet cinnamon roll icing!! Delicious!

  1. Oh, my, I must try these, Marie. They look delicious. I hope someone has heard from your daughter by now and they are all okay. Fire is a scary thing because you can't control it . Your window boxes look lovely and your front garden is very pretty with the bleeding hearts. Our peonies are getting ready to bloom now. Enjoy your dinner out. Love and hugs, Elaine (in Toronto)

    1. You and Larry are sure to love these Elaine. They are the BEST! And I love that they are so simple and quick to make. I am so worried about my daughter. I am sure her father knows what is going on, but nobody has told me. I saw a woman on the news this morning from her community saying that they were poised to evacuate. I just wish I knew one way or the other. All I can do is to pray. I wish I had some peonies. My sister's are getting ready to bloom also! Mom loved peonies. I am looking forward to my meal out! Love and hugs, xoxo
