Viral TikTok Recipe
This recipe I'm sharing with you today is a copycat of the very famous viral TikTok cinnamon roll hack that uses heavy cream and store bought cinnamon rolls that bake up into delicious soft cinnamon rolls.
The pecan sauce for this recipe is the perfect finishing touch - it's made with heavy cream, sugar, and pecans.
What goes with Cinnamon Rolls?
Cinnamon rolls are often served as a sweet breakfast treat. Topped with a sweet cream cheese frosting, they are sure to satisfy your sweet tooth, however, if you are looking for a more savory option, try a few of these recipes:
- Eggs with bacon or sausage - the smokiness of the bacon provides a nice contrast to the sweetness of the cream cheese frosting on top of cinnamon rolls. Try my Spinach, Bacon and Cheese Frittata.
- Breakfast Parfaits made with yogurt, granola and fresh fruit would be a great accompaniment to a sweet breakfast roll.
- Homemade waffles or buttermilk pancakes.
No matter what you decide to pair them with, cinnamon rolls make a delicious and satisfying breakfast.

Can you use the 8 pack can of cinnamon rolls for this recipe
Lois says
Yes, that would work also! Thank you for visiting.
Sandra Ellen Clark says
No, you cannot use the 8 pc tube. They are a different style of roll. Just not as good.
