Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 20 mins
Total Time: 35 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 package refrigerated cinnamon rolls
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ cup heavy cream
- Chopped pecans (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a medium-sized baking dish by lightly greasing it with butter or cooking spray.
- Remove the refrigerated cinnamon rolls from the package. Separate the rolls and cut each roll into small bite-sized pieces, approximately 1/2 inch cubes.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy using an electric mixer.
- Add powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon to the cream cheese. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients are well combined and the mixture is smooth.
- Gradually pour in the heavy cream while continuing to mix, creating a light and fluffy cheesecake-like consistency.
- Transfer the cream cheese mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly across the bottom.
- Arrange the cut cinnamon roll pieces on top of the cream cheese mixture, distributing them evenly.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the cinnamon roll pieces are golden brown and the cream cheese is heated through.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. If desired, sprinkle chopped pecans over the top for added crunch and flavor.
- Serve warm with additional cinnamon rolls, graham crackers, or fresh fruit for dipping.
Tips
- Prep Ahead: To save time, you can prepare the cream cheese mixture a day in advance and store it in the refrigerator. Just mix it with the cinnamon roll pieces right before baking!
- Add a Twist: Feel free to experiment with different mix-ins such as chocolate chips or dried fruits for an added flavor boost.
- Serving Suggestions: Serve this dip warm with an assortment of dippers like graham crackers, apple slices, or even mini pretzels for a fun contrast of flavors and textures.
- Perfect Baking: Keep an eye on the dip while it bakes; every oven is different. You want the cinnamon roll pieces to be golden brown without overcooking the cream cheese mixture.
- Garnish for Flair: Don’t forget to sprinkle some chopped pecans or a dusting of powdered sugar on top before serving for an extra touch of elegance!
