How to Make This Recipe
Step-by-Step Instructions
-
Preparation: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that your oven is ready for the deliciousness to come.
-
Unroll and Fill: Carefully unroll the cinnamon rolls onto parchment paper. Generously sprinkle Oreo crumbles over each, keeping the cinnamon side up to capture the essence of both flavors.
-
Roll ’em Up: Gently re-roll the strips, securely enclosing the Oreos inside. This step promises a delightful Oreo flavor in every bite.
-
Bake with Love: Arrange the rolls in a baking pan. Evenly pour the heavy cream over them, then bake for 20-25 minutes until they turn a beautiful golden hue.
-
Icing on the Cake: While the rolls bake, blend the reserved icing with cream cheese until smooth, preparing a luxurious topping for your rolls.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Once baked to perfection, drizzle the cream cheese icing over the warm rolls, sprinkle with additional Oreo crumbles, and serve immediately to capture their best taste and texture.
Success Tips
- Preheat the Oven: Ensure your oven is fully preheated to 350°F (175°C) before baking. This helps the rolls bake evenly and achieve that perfect golden color.
- Use Parchment Paper: Unrolling the cinnamon rolls onto parchment paper makes it easier to handle and prevents them from sticking to the surface.
- Even Distribution: Make sure the Oreo crumbles are evenly distributed across the cinnamon rolls to ensure every bite is filled with Oreo goodness.
- Cream Cheese Icing: Adding cream cheese to the icing gives it a richer, creamier texture. Make sure the cream cheese is softened for easier blending.

These Oreo-Stuffed Cinnamon Rolls are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven. However, if you have leftovers, you can store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, place them in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving to restore their soft, gooey texture.
