Scale
Ingredients
- 1 can (13 oz) Pillsbury Flaky Cinnamon Rolls
- Sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Open the can: Carefully open the can of cinnamon rolls and remove the dough from the container.
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking.
- Separate rolls: Divide and separate each cinnamon roll individually from the can.
- Begin shaping: Unroll each cinnamon roll, leaving one end still coiled to help form the heart shape.
- Create the heart shape: Coil the other end of the dough to create two equal coils resembling the two lobes of a heart.
- Pinch and stretch: Gently stretch the uncoiled dough a little and firmly pinch the center of the dough together to form the point of the heart.
- Arrange and bake: Place the heart-shaped cinnamon rolls on a parchment-lined baking sheet, ensuring they have enough space. Bake according to the package instructions, typically about 12-15 minutes.
- Cool: Remove the cinnamon rolls from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack to avoid sogginess.
- Decorate: Drizzle the included icing over the cooled heart-shaped rolls and embellish with sprinkles if desired for a festive touch.
Notes
- Make sure not to over-stretch the dough to avoid tearing.
- Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and easy cleanup.
- For extra flavor, add a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg before baking.
- Sprinkles are optional, but they add a colorful and festive finish.
- Serve warm for the best taste experience.
