Ingredients
- 1 can refrigerated cinnamon rolls (with icing)
- Optional: extra cream cheese frosting
- Pink and white heart sprinkles
- Cooking spray or parchment paper
That’s it. Simple and sweet.
How to Shape Cinnamon Rolls into Hearts
- Preheat your oven
Follow the temperature listed on your cinnamon roll package. - Unroll each cinnamon roll
Carefully unroll the cinnamon roll into a long strip. Keep the cinnamon side facing up. - Create the heart shape
Roll both ends of the strip inward toward the center, like two spirals meeting. Gently pinch the bottom point to form a heart. - Place on baking sheet
Set each heart on a parchment-lined or greased baking sheet, leaving a little space between them. - Bake
Bake according to the package directions until golden brown and fluffy.
Decorating the Cinnamon Roll Hearts
Once baked, let the rolls cool slightly so the icing doesn’t melt right off.
- Drizzle or spread the included icing over the top
- Add extra frosting if you want them extra gooey
- Finish with heart sprinkles for maximum cuteness
They’ll look soft, glossy, and bakery-worthy.
