Equipment

  • Baking Dish

Ingredients

Cinnamon Rolls

  • 1 tube crescent roll dough
  • ¼ cup butter unsalted
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • ½ tablespoon cinnamon
  • ¼ cup heavy cream

Cream Cheese Frosting

  • ¼ cup cream cheese
  • 2 tablespoons butter unsalted
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup confectioner’s sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Roll out the crescent roll dough on a clean surface.
  • In a bowl add the butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Mix together until combined into a thick paste.
  • Spread the brown sugar and cinnamon mixture all over the crescent roll dough, coating evenly.
  • Lengthwise, roll the dough tightly into a log. Use a very sharp knife or a piece of string to cut even 1- ½ inch cinnamon rolls.
  • After cutting them all out place them into a baking dish about an inch or so apart from each other.
  • Pour the heavy cream over the rolls. Bake for 20 minutes or until puffy and slightly golden.
  • While those are baking make the cream cheese frosting.
  • Add the cream cheese and butter to a mixing bowl and blend together with a fork or whisk.
  • Then add the sugar and vanilla extract. Mix again until smooth.
  • Once the cinnamon rolls are baked, coat them with the cream cheese frosting while still warm. This will allow the frosting to melt over the rolls.
  • Serve and enjoy the mini cinnamon rolls while still warm!
