Description

This Heart Shaped Cinnamon Rolls recipe transforms classic cinnamon rolls into adorable heart shapes, perfect for special occasions like Valentine’s Day or any time you want a cute, sweet treat.

Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Open the can: Carefully open the can of cinnamon rolls and separate the rolls from each other.
  2. Preheat the oven: Set your oven temperature to 375°F (190°C) and allow it to fully preheat for even baking.
  3. Separate rolls: Unroll each cinnamon roll gently, leaving one end of the dough still coiled.
  4. Form the first coil: Keep one end coiled as is.
  5. Make the second coil: Take the other end of the dough and coil it tightly, creating two equal coils on opposite ends.
  6. Create the heart shape: Stretch the uncoiled middle section of dough slightly, then firmly pinch the center to join the two coils, forming a heart shape.
  7. Prepare for baking: Place the shaped cinnamon rolls onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spaced evenly to allow for rising.
  8. Bake: Bake the rolls in the preheated oven at 375°F for the time specified on the cinnamon roll package, typically 12 to 15 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.
  9. Cool: Remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack to avoid sogginess and help the icing adhere better.
  10. Add icing and sprinkles: Drizzle the pre-packaged icing over the warm heart-shaped rolls, then add sprinkles if desired for a decorative touch.

Notes

  • Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
  • Be gentle when unrolling to avoid tearing the dough.
  • Adding sprinkles is optional but adds a festive look, especially for celebrations.
  • Serve warm for the best flavor and texture.
  • You can substitute with other ready-made cinnamon roll brands if preferred.
