Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 1 (13 oz) can Pillsbury Flaky Cinnamon Rolls
- Sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Open the can: Start by opening the can of cinnamon rolls carefully to avoid tearing the dough inside.
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and allow it to fully heat for optimal baking results.
- Separate the rolls: Divide and separate each cinnamon roll from the connected dough pieces.
- Unroll the dough: Gently unroll each cinnamon roll, keeping one end coiled to maintain structure.
- Create two coils: Coil the opposite end of the dough to create two equally sized spirals.
- Form the heart shape: Slightly stretch the uncoiled section and firmly pinch the center of the dough so that both coils meet, forming a heart shape.
- Arrange for baking: Place the heart-shaped cinnamon rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring they have enough room to expand.
- Bake: Bake the rolls in the preheated oven according to the time instructions on the cinnamon roll package, generally about 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
- Cool: Remove from the oven and let the rolls cool on a wire rack for a few minutes to set.
- Decorate: Drizzle the included icing over the warm heart-shaped rolls and sprinkle with optional colorful sprinkles to finish.
Notes
- For best results, do not overroll or stretch the dough too thin, as it can cause the rolls to lose shape while baking.
- The baking time may vary slightly depending on your oven; keep an eye on the rolls toward the end.
- Sprinkles add a festive touch but can be omitted if desired.
- Serve the rolls warm to enjoy the soft and gooey texture.
