– 1 can (17.5 ounces) Pillsbury Grands cinnamon rolls
– 8 Oreo cookies, finely crushed (with the filling removed if preferred)
– 1/2 cup of cream cheese frosting (optional, could use the frosting provided in the cinnamon roll package)
– Additional whole Oreo cookies for garnish
Directions
1. Preheat your oven to the temperature specified on the Pillsbury Grands cinnamon rolls package (usually 350 degrees Fahrenheit).
2. Prepare a round or square baking dish by lightly greasing it or lining it with parchment paper.
3. Gently unroll each cinnamon roll, maintaining the dough’s integrity as much as possible.
4. Sprinkle an even layer of finely crushed Oreo cookies on each unrolled cinnamon roll, pressing them lightly into the dough.
5. Carefully re-roll the dough, ensuring the Oreo filling is enclosed, and place each roll into the prepared baking dish with the swirl facing up.
6. Bake according to the package instructions, until the rolls are golden brown and fully baked through.
7. Once baked, remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before applying the frosting. You can use the provided frosting or, for an extra touch of decadence, use your own cream cheese frosting.
8. Drizzle the frosting over the warm rolls and garnish with whole or halved Oreo cookies for an eye-catching presentation.
9. Serve warm and enjoy the melding of classic cinnamon rolls with the iconic, crumbly twist of Oreo cookies.
Variations & Tips
– For those who enjoy a touch of extra indulgence, try drizzling a bit of chocolate syrup or sauce over the frosted rolls.
– Cream cheese frosting can be homemade or store-bought, depending on your preference and time constraints.
– To make a more intense chocolate roll, you can add mini chocolate chips along with the crushed Oreos in step 4.
– For a subtler Oreo presence, simply sprinkle the crushed cookies on top after baking and frosting, rather than incorporating them into the dough.
– Store any leftover rolls in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain moisture. They can be quickly reheated in the microwave for about 15 seconds to recreate that fresh-out-of-the-oven taste.
