I love making these Oreo stuffed cinnamon rolls when I want something incredibly indulgent with almost no effort. The combination of soft, fluffy cinnamon rolls, creamy melted Oreos, and rich heavy cream creates a bakery-style dessert that feels special but is surprisingly easy to put together. This recipe is perfect for weekends, holidays, or anytime I crave a warm, sweet treat.
Why You’ll Love This Recipe
I enjoy this recipe because it uses simple, store-bought ingredients while delivering an over-the-top result. The Oreos melt into the cinnamon rolls as they bake, creating a gooey, cookies-and-cream center. I also like how the heavy cream makes the rolls extra soft and moist, almost like they came from a professional bakery.
Ingredients
(Tip: You’ll find the full list of Ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
1 5-count can Pillsbury Grands cinnamon rolls
½ cup heavy cream
10 Oreo cookies
Directions
I start by preheating my oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly greasing a baking dish. I separate the cinnamon rolls and gently flatten each one with my hands. Then I place one to two Oreo cookies in the center of each roll and wrap the dough around them, sealing the edges well.
I arrange the stuffed rolls in the prepared baking dish and slowly pour the heavy cream all around and over the rolls. I bake them according to the package directions, usually about 25 to 30 minutes, until they are golden brown and fully cooked.
Once baked, I spread the included icing over the warm rolls and let them sit for a few minutes before serving so everything sets slightly.
Servings And Timing
I usually get 5 servings from this recipe.
Preparation time is about 10 minutes.
Baking time is 25 to 30 minutes.
Total time comes to roughly 40 minutes.
Variations
I like to switch things up by using flavored Oreos such as Golden or Mint for a different twist. Sometimes I add chopped Oreos on top with the icing for extra crunch. I also enjoy drizzling melted white chocolate or chocolate syrup over the rolls for an even richer dessert.
Storage/Reheating
I store leftover cinnamon rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When reheating, I warm them in the microwave for about 15 to 20 seconds to keep them soft and gooey. I sometimes add a small splash of milk or cream before reheating to bring back moisture.
FAQs
Can I make these cinnamon rolls ahead of time?
I like to assemble them the night before, cover them tightly, and store them in the refrigerator. I bake them fresh the next morning.
Do I have to use heavy cream?
I prefer heavy cream because it makes the rolls extra rich, but I can use half-and-half or whole milk if needed.
Can I use homemade cinnamon roll dough?
I often use store-bought dough for convenience, but homemade dough works just as well if I have the time.
How do I keep the Oreos from falling out?
I make sure to fully seal the dough around the Oreos and place the seam side down in the baking dish.
Can I freeze Oreo stuffed cinnamon rolls?
I freeze them after baking and cooling. When ready to eat, I thaw them in the refrigerator and reheat before serving.
Conclusion
I find these Oreo stuffed cinnamon rolls to be a fun and indulgent twist on a classic breakfast treat. With minimal prep and maximum flavor, this recipe has become one of my favorite go-to desserts whenever I want something warm, sweet, and comforting.
