Instructions
- Open the can: Remove the can of cinnamon rolls and open it to access the dough.
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking.
- Separate the rolls: Divide and separate each cinnamon roll from the can carefully.
- Unroll the dough: Unroll each cinnamon roll, leaving one end of the dough still coiled.
- Create two coils: Coil the other end of the unrolled dough, forming two coils of equal size.
- Shape into hearts: Gently stretch the uncoiled middle section of the dough and firmly pinch the center together to shape a heart.
- Prepare for baking: Place the heart-shaped cinnamon rolls on a parchment-lined baking sheet, ensuring some space between each.
- Bake: Bake the cinnamon rolls in the preheated oven according to the package directions, typically for about 12-15 minutes, until golden brown.
- Cool: Transfer the baked rolls onto a wire rack to cool slightly.
- Add finishing touches: Drizzle the included icing over the warm heart-shaped cinnamon rolls and decorate with optional sprinkles for a festive look.
Notes
- Ensure the oven is fully preheated before placing the rolls inside to ensure even baking.
- Be gentle when unrolling and shaping the dough to prevent tearing.
- Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Customize with your choice of sprinkles or additional toppings like chopped nuts or a drizzle of caramel.
- Serve warm for the best taste and texture.
