Method

Step‑by‑Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). If using homemade cinnamon rolls, allow the dough to proof until doubled in size, about 1 hour. For store-bought rolls, unroll and place in a greased baking dish.
Pour about ¾ to 1 cup of heavy cream evenly over the arranged rolls, ensuring coverage for maximum gooeyness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until golden brown; do not overbake.
Remove from oven and let cool for 5–10 minutes to allow cream to settle.
