Oreo-Stuffed Cinnamon Rolls – The Ultimate Sweet Fusion You Didn’t Know You Needed 🍪🍥
When two comfort food favorites collide—gooey cinnamon rolls and crunchy Oreo cookies—you get the most indulgent breakfast-meets-dessert treat: Oreo-Stuffed Cinnamon Rolls. These rolls are buttery, creamy, and packed with chocolate cookie goodness in every bite. Whether you’re making them for a special weekend breakfast, a cozy dessert, or a fun baking project with the family, this recipe is as easy as it is irresistible.
Each fluffy cinnamon roll is generously filled with crushed Oreo cookies and baked in rich heavy cream for added moisture and decadence. Topped with a velvety cream cheese icing and even more cookie crumbles, this recipe will have everyone asking for seconds.
Ingredients You’ll Need
• 1 can (5-count) Pillsbury Grands Cinnamon Rolls (with icing)
• ½ cup (119g) heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons (30ml) cream cheese, softened (optional)
• 10 Oreo cookies, crumbled (plus more for topping)
Directions for Sweet Success
1. Preheat Your Oven
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
2. Unroll and Stuff the Cinnamon Rolls
Open the can of cinnamon rolls and carefully unroll each roll on a flat surface. Keep the cinnamon side facing up. Sprinkle crushed Oreos generously over each strip of dough, pressing gently to help them stick.
3. Roll Them Back Up
Once the Oreos are evenly distributed, re-roll each strip back into its original roll shape, enclosing all that delicious cookie crunch inside.
4. Bake with Cream
Place the rolls into the prepared baking dish. Pour the heavy cream evenly over and around the cinnamon rolls—this ensures they stay ultra-soft and moist during baking. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the tops are golden and the centers are fully cooked.
5. Make the Icing
While the rolls are baking, mix the reserved icing that came with the cinnamon rolls with 2 tablespoons of softened cream cheese. Stir until smooth and creamy.
6. Serve and Enjoy
Once the rolls are hot and fresh out of the oven, drizzle the cream cheese icing over the top. Finish by sprinkling with extra Oreo crumbles for added texture and flavor. Serve warm for the ultimate gooey experience.
Chef’s Tips
Crush Oreos by placing them in a zip-top bag and smashing them with a rolling pin—leave some bigger chunks for texture. If you prefer extra gooey rolls, cover the baking dish with foil for the first 15 minutes of baking, then uncover to brown. For extra flavor, add a drizzle of melted chocolate or a pinch of espresso powder to the icing. Use flavored Oreos (like red velvet or golden) for a fun twist. Don’t skip the heavy cream—it makes the rolls luxuriously moist.
Serving Suggestions
Pair with a cold glass of milk or a hot latte for the ultimate breakfast treat. Serve as a sweet addition to brunch or holiday mornings. Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream and turn it into an unforgettable dessert. These are also great for bake sales, potlucks, or just a cozy weekend at home.
