- 4 oz cream cheese, room temperature
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 4 Tbsp butter, softened
- Orange food coloring, a few drops
- Candy eyes
- Halloween sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking dish to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- Arrange Cinnamon Rolls: Place the refrigerated Grands cinnamon rolls evenly into the prepared baking dish, spacing them slightly for expansion during baking.
- Add Heavy Cream: Pour 1 cup of heavy whipping cream over the cinnamon rolls, carefully pouring some cream in between each roll to moisten them thoroughly.
- Make Cinnamon Butter Glaze: In a small bowl, melt 4 tablespoons of butter, then stir in ⅓ cup brown sugar and ½ teaspoon cinnamon until well combined to form a sweet glaze.
- Drizzle Glaze Over Rolls: Drizzle the cinnamon butter mixture evenly over the cinnamon rolls and cream, ensuring all rolls are coated for maximum flavor.
- Bake the Rolls: Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, allowing the rolls to cook thoroughly and soak up the flavors.
- Cool Before Frosting: Remove the cinnamon rolls from the oven and let them cool completely to room temperature before frosting to prevent melting.
- Prepare Frosting Base: In a medium bowl, whisk together 4 tablespoons softened butter and 4 ounces of room temperature cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
- Add Pre-made Icing and Sugar: Mix in the two containers of pre-made cinnamon roll icing, then whisk in 1 cup powdered sugar until the frosting is thick and creamy.
- Color the Frosting: Add a few drops of orange food coloring to the frosting, stirring until the color is well blended. Add more drops as needed to achieve a vibrant orange hue.
- Frost the Cinnamon Rolls: Spread the orange cream cheese frosting evenly over the cooled cinnamon rolls.
- Decorate: Top the frosted cinnamon rolls with candy eyes and Halloween sprinkles to create a fun and festive appearance.
- Serve or Store: Serve the Halloween Cinnamon Rolls immediately or store in an airtight container for later enjoyment.
Notes
- Make sure the rolls cool completely before frosting to prevent the frosting from melting and sliding off.
- You can adjust the amount of orange food coloring to achieve your desired color intensity.
- If you want to make the rolls extra moist, ensure heavy cream is evenly poured between all rolls.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to 4 days.
