Ingredients
- 1 can (13 oz) Pillsbury Flaky Cinnamon Rolls
- Sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Open the can: Carefully open the can of Pillsbury Flaky Cinnamon Rolls and separate each roll.
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare it for baking the cinnamon rolls.
- Divide and separate rolls: Take each cinnamon roll and gently separate them for shaping.
- Unroll the cinnamon roll: Unroll each cinnamon roll, but leave one end coiled to start forming the heart shape.
- Form two coils: Coil the opposite end of the dough to create two equal spirals that will become the heart’s lobes.
- Pinch the center: Slightly stretch the uncoiled dough in the middle and pinch it firmly together to form the heart’s point.
- Bake the rolls: Place the shaped cinnamon rolls on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake them according to the package directions, typically for about 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
- Cool the rolls: Remove the rolls from the oven and allow them to cool on a wire rack for better icing adherence.
- Decorate: Drizzle the included icing over the warm heart-shaped rolls and add sprinkles for a festive touch if desired.
Notes
- Handle the dough gently while shaping to prevent tearing.
- Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
- Serve warm for the best taste and texture.
- Customize with additional toppings like chopped nuts or fruit.
- Check the package for specific baking times, as oven variations may affect baking duration.
