Ingredients
- 1 13 oz can Pillsbury Flaky Cinnamon Rolls
- Sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Open the can: Carefully open the can of Pillsbury Flaky Cinnamon Rolls and divide the rolls by separating them from one another.
- Preheat oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to preheat while you prepare the cinnamon rolls.
- Unroll the dough: Take each cinnamon roll and unroll it, keeping one end coiled intact to help shape the heart.
- Create the heart shape: Coil the other end of the dough to form two equal coils, then gently stretch the uncoiled part and pinch the center firmly together, shaping the dough into a heart.
- Arrange on baking sheet: Place the heart-shaped cinnamon rolls on a parchment-lined baking sheet, ensuring they have enough space to expand while baking.
- Bake: Bake the rolls according to the package directions, usually about 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
- Cool: Once baked, transfer the rolls to a wire rack to cool.
- Decorate: Drizzle the included icing over the warm heart-shaped cinnamon rolls and embellish with sprinkles if desired.
Notes
- Make sure not to unroll the cinnamon rolls completely; keep one end coiled to help form the heart shape.
- Use parchment paper on the baking sheet to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Adjust baking time slightly depending on your oven to avoid overbaking.
- For extra flair, use colored or themed sprinkles to match special occasions.
