    What is the viral tiktok cinnamon roll hack?

    This viral tiktok cinnamon roll hack uses heavy cream and store bought cinnamon rolls to create the lightest, fluffiest and moistest cinnamon rolls ever.

    They are very similar to Cinnabon and they taste amazing!

    Where did this trend originate?

    I first saw @mississippi_kween do it but she credits @mantha in her original caption.

    Although after deep diving to try and see where @mantha got it from (as she says “tiktok made me do it) I’m still unsure!

    If I find out who the original poster was, I’ll definitely update this post!

    Ingredients & Substitutions

    • Store Bought Cinnamon Rolls – Since I wanted these to be as close to Cinnabon as possible, I recommend using Pillsbury Grands Cinnamon Rolls. You could absolutely use any other brand (like Annie’s Organic or Immaculate Baking, just make sure to adjust the baking times with what the package says. Additionally, after receiving a note from a reader about Pillsbury’s smaller cinnamon rolls (which are more like a sweet biscuit rather than a roll) I wanted to clarify that these don’t have the actual swirl of the bun – just more like a puck – and while they work with this hack, they are nowhere near as good as the big Grands version.
    • Heavy Cream – This is the secret ingredient! I wouldn’t try to use anything else for this cinnabon hack.
    • Nonstick Spray – If you don’t have heavy cream, you could melt some butter and smear that into the baking dish to help the rolls not stick.

    What goes with Cinnamon Rolls

    Since cinnamon rolls are traditionally served as a breakfast food, I recommend serving them with my air fryer breakfast potatoes, this avocado bagel, or even my fav baked egg dish – huevos con chorizo.
