Indulge in the irresistible fusion of two beloved treats—classic cinnamon rolls and iconic Oreo cookies. This simple yet luxurious recipe transforms a can of Pillsbury Grands cinnamon rolls into a bakery‑style dessert that’s gooey, rich, and layered with chocolate‑cookie decadence. The secret lies in the addition of crumbled Oreos rolled into each swirl and a velvety cream cheese icing that melts over the warm rolls right out of the oven. The result is a comforting, crowd‑pleasing pastry perfect for brunch, special occasions, or whenever you need something sweet and spectacular.
The heavy cream poured over the rolls before baking ensures they come out exceptionally tender, while the optional cream cheese in the icing adds depth and balance to the sweetness. This combination creates a soft, pillowy texture with just enough crunch from the cookies to keep every bite interesting. The recipe is quick to prepare, requiring minimal effort for maximum payoff, making it ideal for both novice bakers and seasoned home cooks looking for a playful twist on a classic.
Ingredients
- 1 5‑count can of Pillsbury Grands cinnamon rolls
- ½ cup (119 g) heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) cream cheese (optional), softened
- 10 Oreo cookies, crumbled (plus extra for topping)
Each ingredient has its role: the pre‑made rolls provide a buttery cinnamon base; the heavy cream adds moisture and richness; the cream cheese gives the icing a slight tang that enhances the sweetness; and the Oreo crumbles infuse a chocolatey crunch throughout. Use a sturdy baking pan lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking. The Oreos should be broken into small chunks rather than fine crumbs so that they remain distinct in texture once baked.
