Directions:

FAQs:

1. How do I prevent the cinnamon rolls from becoming too soggy?

Make sure to bake the rolls until they are golden and bubbly, and avoid over-pouring the heavy cream. You want enough cream to create a rich texture but not so much that it leaves the rolls overly moist.

2. Can I use homemade cinnamon rolls instead of store-bought?

Yes, if you prefer homemade cinnamon rolls, you can substitute them for the store-bought variety. Just make sure the dough is pre-rolled and ready to be filled.

3. Can I make these in advance?

Yes! You can prepare the cinnamon rolls and store them in the fridge overnight. When you’re ready, bake them as directed, and the only prep you’ll need is to make the icing.

4. Can I make this without the cream cheese icing?

Absolutely! You can skip the cream cheese icing or substitute with regular icing or a simple powdered sugar glaze.

5. Can I freeze the rolls?

Yes, you can freeze the unbaked cinnamon rolls for up to 2 months. To bake, simply allow them to thaw in the fridge overnight before following the baking instructions.

6. How do I make the rolls extra gooey?

To make your rolls extra gooey, pour a bit more heavy cream over the rolls before baking. This will create a richer, more indulgent texture.

7. Can I use a different cookie besides Oreos?

You can definitely get creative with the cookie filling. Try using crushed chocolate chip cookies, peanut butter cookies, or even candy bars for a different twist!

8. How long will the rolls last in the fridge?

The rolls will stay fresh in the fridge for up to 5 days. Make sure to store them in an airtight container.

9. Can I bake these rolls without cream cheese?
