Ingredients You’ll Need
- 1 can Pillsbury Grands Cinnamon Rolls (5-count size; with included icing)
- ½ cup (119 g) heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) cream cheese (optional, softened for the drizzle)
- 10 Oreo cookies, crumbled (plus extra for topping)
Tools You’ll Need
- Baking dish (8×8-inch or similar)
- Mixing bowl
- Spoon or spatula
- Knife for crumbling Oreos (or use your hands for a rustic crumble!)
Ingredient Substitutions and Additions
- Cookies: Swap Oreos for Golden Oreos, chocolate chip cookies, or even Biscoff cookies for a different twist.

- Toppings: Add mini chocolate chips, a drizzle of caramel sauce, or sprinkles for extra fun.

Directions for Sweet Success
Step 1: Prep the Rolls
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease your baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Separate the Pillsbury Grands cinnamon rolls and unroll each one gently.
Step 2: Add the Oreo Filling
- Sprinkle a generous amount of crumbled Oreos (about 1–2 cookies) along the unrolled dough.
- Carefully roll the cinnamon rolls back up, tucking in the crumbles as needed to keep everything inside. Place them in the prepared baking dish, evenly spaced.
Step 3: Add the Creamy Goodness
- Pour the heavy cream evenly over the cinnamon rolls. This step keeps them soft, gooey, and extra indulgent as they bake.
- If you’re feeling adventurous, stir the softened cream cheese into the heavy cream for a touch of tangy richness before pouring it on.
Step 4: Bake
Bake the cinnamon rolls for 25–30 minutes, or until they’re puffed up, golden brown, and your kitchen smells like a sugary dream.
Step 5: Top with Icing and More Oreos
- Warm up the included icing packet (optional but highly recommended!) and drizzle it over the warm cinnamon rolls.
- Sprinkle extra crumbled Oreos on top for a show-stopping finish.
What to Serve with Oreo-Stuffed Cinnamon Rolls
While these rolls are a treat all on their own, you can serve them with:
- A hot cup of coffee or cocoa: Perfect for balancing the sweetness.
- Fresh fruit: A bowl of berries or orange slices adds a refreshing contrast.
- Whipped cream: Because why not go all out?
Tips for Perfect Oreo-Stuffed Cinnamon Rolls
- Don’t Skip the Heavy Cream: It’s the secret to keeping the rolls moist and gooey.
- Crush Oreos Just Right: Aim for a mix of fine crumbs and larger chunks for the perfect texture.
- Use Room-Temperature Cream Cheese: This ensures it blends smoothly into the cream if you’re making the drizzle.
- Serve Warm: These rolls are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven when the chocolate and creaminess are at their peak.
Storage Instructions
- Refrigerator: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave for 20–30 seconds to bring back the gooey goodness.
- Freezer: Freeze unbaked, stuffed cinnamon rolls for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before baking.
