Ingredients
- 1 13 oz can Pillsbury Flaky Cinnamon Rolls
- Sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Open the can: Carefully open the can of cinnamon rolls and separate the individual rolls for shaping.
- Preheat the oven: Set the oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking.
- Separate the rolls: Divide the rolls and separate each one to unroll them.
- Unroll the cinnamon roll: Unroll the dough from each roll but leave one end still coiled.
- Form the heart shape: Coil the other end of the dough to create two equal coils resembling the lobes of a heart.
- Pinch the center: Gently stretch the uncoiled part of the dough and pinch the center firmly to form the bottom point of the heart shape.
- Prepare for baking: Place the shaped cinnamon rolls onto a parchment-lined baking sheet ensuring enough space between each.
- Bake: Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for the duration specified on the package, typically 12-15 minutes, until golden brown.
- Cool: Remove from the oven and allow the rolls to cool on a wire rack to prevent sogginess.
- Decorate: Drizzle the included icing over the heart-shaped cinnamon rolls and add sprinkles if desired for extra color and festivity.
Notes
- For best results, do not flatten the dough too much when shaping to maintain fluffiness.
- Use parchment paper to avoid sticking and easy cleanup.
- Sprinkles are optional but add a fun festive touch, especially for holidays like Valentine’s Day.
- Check the package instructions for exact baking times as ovens may vary.
- Serve warm for the best flavor and texture.
