Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 1 (13 oz) can Pillsbury Flaky Cinnamon Rolls
- Sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Open the can: Remove the can of cinnamon rolls to access the dough inside.
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven temperature to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking.
- Separate the rolls: Carefully divide and separate each cinnamon roll from the can, ensuring they don’t lose shape.
- Unroll the dough: Gently unroll each cinnamon roll, keeping one end still coiled to begin shaping.
- Create two coils: Coil the other end of the dough to form two equal-sized coils.
- Shape into hearts: Stretch the uncoiled middle section slightly and firmly pinch the center together to form a heart shape.
- Prepare for baking: Place the heart-shaped rolls on a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving enough space between them to expand.
- Bake: Bake the cinnamon rolls in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown, following package instructions.
- Cool: Transfer the rolls to a wire rack and allow them to cool slightly before adding toppings.
- Add finishing touches: Drizzle the included icing over the warm rolls and garnish with optional sprinkles for a festive look.
Notes
- Keep an eye on the baking time, as ovens vary; cinnamon rolls are done when golden brown.
- Ensure the heart shape is well-formed by securely pinching the center to prevent separation during baking.
- Optional sprinkles add a colorful, festive touch but can be omitted if preferred.
- Serve warm for the best flavor and texture.
