Ingredients
- 1 13 oz can Pillsbury Flaky Cinnamon Rolls
- Sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Open the can: Carefully open the can of cinnamon rolls and separate each roll.
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking.
- Divide and separate rolls: Separate the rolls completely from each other.
- Unroll the cinnamon roll: Gently unroll each cinnamon roll, leaving one end still coiled to keep some shape.
- Create two coils: Coil the other unrolled end to form two equal coils resembling the halves of a heart.
- Pinch in the center: Slightly stretch the uncoiled part of the dough and pinch the center firmly to hold the heart shape together.
- Place on baking sheet: Arrange the heart-shaped rolls on a parchment-lined baking sheet, ensuring enough space between them for expansion.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven according to the time instructions on the package, usually about 12-15 minutes, until golden brown.
- Cool: Transfer the baked rolls onto a wire rack to cool slightly.
- Decorate: Drizzle the included icing over the warm heart-shaped cinnamon rolls and add sprinkles if desired for extra color and fun.
Notes
- Use parchment paper for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.
- You can substitute with homemade cinnamon roll dough if preferred, adjusting baking time accordingly.
- For extra flavor, add chopped nuts or raisins before coiling.
- Sprinkles are optional but add a festive touch, especially for special occasions like Valentine’s Day.
- Serve warm for the best gooey texture and flavor.
