Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 1 can Pillsbury Grands! Cinnamon Rolls (5 rolls)
- Icing (included in the cinnamon roll can)
- Christmas Sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven temperature to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the cinnamon rolls.
- Prepare the baking pan: Spray a pan with non-stick cooking spray or line it with parchment paper to prevent the cinnamon rolls from sticking.
- Separate the rolls: Open the can of cinnamon rolls and pull them apart gently to separate all 5 rolls.
- Shape the Christmas tree: Unravel each cinnamon roll one at a time and weave the dough back and forth on the baking pan, arranging it into a tree shape.
- Secure the shape: Pinch the edges of the dough tree together slightly so it stays intact during baking and won’t unravel.
- Bake the rolls: Place the shaped cinnamon rolls in the preheated oven and bake for 23 to 27 minutes or until they turn golden brown.
- Adjust if necessary: If you notice the dough starting to separate while baking, carefully remove the pan from the oven and push the dough together gently before continuing to bake.
- Cool down: Once baked, take the rolls out of the oven and let them cool slightly to avoid melting the icing too fast.
- Add icing and decoration: Spread the provided icing over the warm cinnamon roll tree and sprinkle generously with Christmas-themed sprinkles for a festive finish.
- Serve and enjoy: Serve the Christmas Tree Cinnamon Rolls warm as a fun holiday treat to share with family and friends.
Notes
- Use non-stick spray or parchment paper to ensure easy removal from the baking pan.
- Be gentle when weaving the dough to prevent tearing.
- If the dough begins to separate during baking, briefly remove and reshape as needed.
- Allow the rolls to cool slightly before adding icing to avoid it melting too much.
- Feel free to customize the sprinkles to match your holiday decor or preference.
