Description

Delightfully charming heart-shaped cinnamon rolls made from flaky cinnamon roll dough, perfect for a sweet breakfast treat or a festive occasion. These rolls are easy to shape and bake, then topped with icing and optional sprinkles to add a playful touch.


Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 (13 oz) can Pillsbury Flaky Cinnamon Rolls
  • Sprinkles (optional)


Instructions

  1. Open the dough: Carefully open the can of cinnamon rolls and divide the rolls by separating them gently.
  2. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s ready when you’re done preparing the rolls.
  3. Shape the rolls: Unroll each cinnamon roll, leaving one end still coiled. Then coil the other end so you have two equal coils on each piece of dough.
  4. Create the heart shape: Slightly stretch the dough in the middle section between the coils, then pinch the center firmly to bring the two coils together forming a heart shape.
  5. Prepare for baking: Place the shaped cinnamon rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, allowing space between each roll for expansion.
  6. Bake: Bake the rolls in the preheated oven according to the package instructions, typically around 12-15 minutes, until golden brown.
  7. Cool down: Remove from the oven and place the rolls on a wire rack to cool slightly.
  8. Add finishing touches: Drizzle the included icing over the heart-shaped cinnamon rolls and decorate with sprinkles if desired for a bright, festive look.

Notes

  • You can use any brand of flaky cinnamon rolls if Pillsbury is unavailable.
  • Ensure not to over-stretch the dough to avoid tearing while shaping.
  • Sprinkles are optional but add a fun, colorful touch especially for celebrations like Valentine’s Day.
  • Serve warm for the best taste and texture.
