Ingredients Needed for 30 Minute Mini Cinnamon Rolls

• 1 tube of crescent roll dough
• ¼ cup unsalted butter
• ¼ cup brown sugar
• ½ tablespoon cinnamon
• ¼ cup heavy cream

For the Cream Cheese Frosting:

• ¼ cup cream cheese
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1.2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ¼ cup powdered sugar

How to Make 30 Minute Mini Cinnamon Rolls

Before you begin, preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and gather your equipment.

In a bowl, combine the unsalted butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon, mixing them together until you have a thick paste. This will be the filling for your rolls.

Next, roll out the crescent roll dough on a clean surface. Spread the brown sugar and cinnamon mixture evenly over the dough, ensuring that every inch is coated with the flavorful blend.

Now, roll the dough tightly into a log, lengthwise. To create evenly-sized cinnamon rolls, use a very sharp knife or a piece of string to cut 1-½ inch slices.

Carefully place each slice into a baking dish, leaving about an inch of space between each roll.

To add an extra touch of richness, pour the heavy cream over the rolls. This will help create a moist and tender texture.

Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 20 minutes or until the rolls are puffy and slightly golden.

While the cinnamon rolls are baking, make the cream cheese frosting.

In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese and unsalted butter, blending them together with a fork or whisk until smooth and creamy. Then, add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, continuing to mix until you achieve a thick and creamy frosting. (One of the best parts, right?!)

Once the cinnamon rolls are done baking, remove them from oven and generously coat them with the cream cheese frosting while they are still warm.

The warmth of the rolls will cause the frosting to melt and seep into every nook and cranny, making each bite irresistible.

Serve the mini cinnamon rolls while they are still warm.

The combination of fluffy dough, sweet cinnamon filling, and creamy cream cheese frosting will surely make your mouth water.

Whether you enjoy these mini cinnamon rolls for breakfast, as a snack, or as a dessert, they are sure to impress.

The best part is that they can be prepared in just 30 minutes, making them an ideal choice for those times when you’re craving something sweet but don’t want to spend hours in the kitchen.
