When I was a child, the kitchen served as the center of our home, where magic happened and treasured memories were created. The process of making our Oreo-Stuffed Cinnamon Rolls was one such memory. The warm aroma of cinnamon wafted through the air on a wet afternoon when it all started. Because I adore both cinnamon buns and Oreos, I reasoned, “Why not combine the two?” A family favorite, this dish began as a culinary experiment and brought smiles as large as the swirls of cookies and cream it contained with every bite. Not only are these cinnamon rolls delicious, but they also bring back memories of warm days spent laughing and baking with family and friends.
The delicious combination of tastes and the incredibly easy preparation make these Oreo-Stuffed Cinnamon Rolls stand out.
The rich, chocolaty crunch of Oreo crumbles complements the flawless base made possible by the use of Pillsbury Grands cinnamon buns that are already baked.
The optional cream cheese in the icing provides a smooth, tangy contrast to the sweet Oreos, and the addition of heavy cream bakes into a moist, delicate dough.
With their crowd-pleasing take on classic tastes, these cinnamon rolls are perfect for a special dessert or a quick breakfast treat.
Ingredients Notes
Every ingredient in this recipe for Oreo-Stuffed Cinnamon Rolls plays a pivotal role in crafting these indulgent treats. Here’s a closer look at what you’ll need and why:
- Pillsbury Grands cinnamon rolls are the base of our recipe since they are convenient and always have a fluffy texture.
- Thick cream: When poured upon the dough, it seeps into the rolls, adding an extra layer of opulence.
- Cream cheese is optional but highly suggested because it gives the icing a rich, creamy flavor that perfectly balances the richness of the Oreos.
- The main attraction are the Oreo cookies, which add a delightful crunch and that well-known cookies-and-cream flavor.
How To Make Oreo-Stuffed Cinnamon Rolls
Ready to make your own batch of Oreo-Stuffed Cinnamon Rolls? Follow these detailed steps to ensure perfect results every time:
- First, prepare your oven by turning the temperature up to 350°F and lining a surface with parchment paper. This avoids stickiness and keeps everything tidy.
- Unwrap the cinnamon rolls, then lay them out flat with the cinnamon side facing up. For that cookies and cream flavor, evenly distribute the crushed Oreos over each strip.
- Roll and Arrange: Tightly reroll each strip to include the crumbled Oreo. Put them in your baking pan, giving them room to spread out a bit.
- Add Cream and Bake: Drizzle the rolls in the pan with heavy cream to help them bake to a golden perfection. Put them in the oven and cook them until they’re perfectly done.
- Icing Magic: Blend together softened cream cheese with the saved icing until smooth, while the rolls bake. When the rolls are done, cover them with an abundance of this rich frosting and top with additional Oreo crumbles.
Storage Options
While warm and fresh is when these Oreo-Stuffed Cinnamon Rolls taste best, don’t worry if you have leftovers! As long as the frosting doesn’t get too runny, they can be kept at room temperature in an airtight container for up to two days. Store them in the fridge for up to a week or freeze them for up to a month if you want to store them longer. To enjoy a warm, luscious treat at any time, simply reheat in the microwave!
