Ingredients
- 1 can (13 oz) Pillsbury Flaky Cinnamon Rolls
- Sprinkles, optional
Instructions
- Prepare the cinnamon rolls: Open the can of cinnamon rolls and separate each roll carefully without tearing.
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and allow it to reach the temperature while you shape the rolls.
- Shape the rolls: Unroll each cinnamon roll gently, leaving one end coiled. Then coil the other end, creating two equal coils.
- Form the heart shape: Stretch the uncoiled dough section slightly and firmly pinch the center of the dough together so that the two coils form a perfect heart shape.
- Bake: Place the heart-shaped cinnamon rolls on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for the time specified on the cinnamon roll package, usually around 12-15 minutes, until golden brown.
- Cool down: Remove the baked rolls from the oven and transfer them to a wire rack to cool slightly before decorating.
- Decorate and serve: Drizzle the included icing over the warm heart-shaped cinnamon rolls and sprinkle with optional sprinkles to add color and festive flair.
Notes
- For best results, do not over-stretch the dough to prevent tearing.
- You can use any cinnamon roll brand, but baking times may vary slightly.
- Let the rolls cool slightly before icing to prevent melting the glaze too much.
- These make a perfect gift or breakfast treat for Valentine’s Day or anniversaries.
- Optional sprinkles add a fun, colorful touch but are completely customizable.
