Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1–2 tablespoons milk (to reach desired icing consistency)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare the dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough onto a lightly floured surface and press the seams together to create a single sheet of dough.
- Make the filling: In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and cinnamon together. Brush the melted butter evenly over the dough, then sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture on top, spreading it evenly.
- Roll the dough: Starting from one edge, tightly roll the dough into a log shape.
- Cut the rolls: Slice the dough into 8 equal pieces and arrange them in a greased round baking dish or on a baking sheet.
- Bake: Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cinnamon rolls are golden brown and puffed up.
- Make the icing: While the rolls are baking, mix together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk in a small bowl until smooth and creamy.
- Serve: Once the cinnamon rolls are baked, let them cool for a few minutes, then drizzle the cream cheese icing over the top. Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
- If you want an extra decadent cinnamon roll, you can double the cream cheese icing.
- You can also add chopped nuts, like pecans or walnuts, to the cinnamon-sugar filling for a crunch.
- To make this recipe even easier, feel free to use a different store-bought dough, like puff pastry, if you prefer.
