What are cinnamon rolls from Tiktok?
This extremely straightforward viral hack is all over Tiktok and involves baking store-bought cinnamon rolls in heavy whipping cream. The rolls bake up puffy, gooey, moist, and light. The rich whipping cream layer helps the tops of the buns bake to a lovely golden brown while also giving the buns additional heaviness and lightness.

Ingredients for the TikTok cinnamon roll hack
For this hack, you only need heavy whipping cream and pre-made cinnamon rolls that are ready to bake.
Purchased cinnamon rolls
You want the chilled, tube-shaped, ready-to-bake rolls. There are so many brands out there, and they all function, but if you’re looking for the specific ones I’ve seen on TikTok, they’re Pillsbury Grands; read below for more information.
Cream of heavy whipping
The key component is heavy whipping cream. The buns become richer and more moist, baking up to be incredibly fluffy and sticky. They also aid in baking the tops to a lovely golden color.
How to crack a can of cinnamon rolls
To be completely honest, the pop when I open a tube of cinnamon buns or biscuits makes me nervous. The rolls always make me fear an explosion. To open a package, I like to carefully peel off the outside paper. If that doesn’t work, I grasp the cardboard tube and gently twist in the opposite directions, causing the seams to widen and cause the item to open. To break the seam, you can alternatively lightly tap it against the countertop.
Do these have a Cinnabon flavor?
Get Pillsbury Grands with cream cheese icing if you want your cinnamon rolls to taste like Cinnabon. Otherwise, any other pre-made, prepared cinnamon rolls found in the refrigerator section would also work. If you want cinnamon rolls that resemble huge buns, make sure you order the large ones.
Who came up with the cinnamon roll trick for Tiktok?
It’s difficult to determine who began the trend because so many individuals are doing it now. Please let me know the inventor if you are aware of them.
How to prepare air fryer-fried TikTok cinnamon rolls
You can prepare these in the air fryer if you don’t have an oven or are only making a single tube, or a small batch, of cinnamon rolls. Place 1 package of cinnamon rolls in a heat-resistant pan that fits in the air fryer, then top with 1/2 cup of heavy whipping cream to bake the rolls in the air fryer. The rolls should be cooked through and brown on top for 12 to 15 minutes at 320°F. Frost the cake while it’s still warm.
How long should Tiktok cinnamon rolls be baked?
The benefit of these rolls is that there is no possibility of oven drying out. Since the rolls bake in cream, it’s ideal to bake them for a little longer, closer to 30 minutes. Make sure the rolls are cooked all the way through. The interior temperature of the cinnamon buns’ center, measured with an instant-read thermometer, should be 190°F. Simply lightly press the center of a roll if you don’t have a thermometer. It shouldn’t have a raw-dough mush, but should feel slightly firm. A roll can also have a toothpick or paring knife inserted into the center of it. A clean toothpick should be produced. Cover your buns with foil and keep baking if they begin to brown too much before being done.
Cream cheese frosting prepared from scratch
Make a pot of homemade cream cheese if you want your cinnamon rolls to be more impressive. It’s simple to mix up a batch while you’re baking. Just combining: Blend together 3/4 cups powdered sugar, 3/4 cups room temperature butter, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla until smooth. Rolls should be frost when warm. Every nook and cranny that contains cinnamon will be covered in frosting.
Tiktok cinnamon rolls made in small batches
Making a small quantity of these rolls is simple. Bake just one tube. Butter a small baking dish very lightly. After that, insert the five rolls and top with 1/2 cup of heavy whipping cream. Bake as directed in the recipe below, then top with warm frosting.
Variations
Heavy cream and cinnamon rolls are the standard cinnamon roll hack, but here are two variations:
- To add more cinnamon, melt 1/4 cup butter and combine it with 2 teaspoons of cinnamon and 1/4 cup brown sugar. Pour before adding the heavy cream to the rolls. Bake according to the directions.
- Pecans: Melt 1/4 cup butter and combine with 1/2 cup chopped pecans and 1/4 cup brown sugar. Before drizzling heavy cream on top of the rolls, top them. Bake according to the directions.
