Why I Love This Easy Oreo Cinnamon Rolls Recipe

There are so many reasons I keep coming back to this recipe.

It uses refrigerated Grands cinnamon rolls which saves a ton of time.
The heavy cream trick makes the cinnamon rolls unbelievably soft and gooey.
Crushed Oreo cookies add the perfect cookies and cream flavor.

Ingredients You’ll Need for Oreo Cinnamon Rolls

This easy Oreo cinnamon rolls recipe uses simple ingredients that come together to create a soft, rich, bakery style treat.

Grands Cinnamon Rolls
Refrigerated cinnamon rolls make this recipe incredibly quick and easy. I love using Grands because they bake up thick and fluffy. Any refrigerated cinnamon rolls will work, but larger rolls give the best gooey texture.
Oreo Cookies
Crushed Oreo cookies create the cookies and cream flavor throughout the rolls. I usually use regular Oreos, but Double Stuf Oreos work great too if you want an even richer filling.
Cream Cheese
A little cream cheese mixed into the icing makes the topping taste homemade and extra creamy. Full fat cream cheese gives the best flavor and texture.
Heavy Whipping Cream
This is the secret ingredient that transforms canned cinnamon rolls into soft, gooey bakery style cinnamon rolls. The cream bakes into the bottom of the rolls and keeps them incredibly moist.

How to Make Easy Oreo Cinnamon Rolls

These cookies and cream cinnamon rolls come together quickly and are perfect for beginner bakers or busy mornings.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9×9 inch baking dish.
Crush the Oreo cookies into small crumbs and chunks. I usually place them in a zip top bag and crush them with a rolling pin for easy cleanup.
Unroll each cinnamon roll into a long strip of dough.
Sprinkle crushed Oreo cookies all along each strip of dough.
Roll the dough back up into cinnamon roll shapes and place them in the greased baking dish.
Sprinkle any remaining Oreo crumbs over the tops of the rolls.
Pour the heavy whipping cream around the cinnamon rolls in the bottom of the pan. Try not to pour the cream directly over the tops of the rolls.
Bake uncovered for 20 minutes or until the cinnamon rolls are golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the pan from the oven and let the rolls cool for about 10 minutes.
Place the cream cheese in a microwave safe bowl and microwave for 10 seconds to soften.
Add the icing packet from the cinnamon rolls to the softened cream cheese and stir until smooth and creamy.
Drizzle the cream cheese icing over the warm Oreo cinnamon rolls.
Top with a few extra Oreo crumbs if desired and serve warm.

Pro Tips for the Best Oreo Cinnamon Rolls

Grease the baking dish well to prevent sticking.
Let the icing packet sit at room temperature while the rolls bake so it mixes smoothly with the cream cheese.
Do not overbake the cinnamon rolls or they may lose some of their gooey texture.
Pour the heavy cream around the rolls instead of directly on top so the tops still brown nicely.
Serve these warm for the ultimate soft and gooey texture.
Use a metal spatula to lift the cinnamon rolls out of the pan cleanly.

Ingredients

▢ 1 pkg (5-ct) Grands cinnamon rolls,
▢ 10 Oreo cookies
▢ 2 oz cream cheese
▢ ½ cup heavy whipping cream

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9×9-inch baking dish. Crush up the Oreos.

Pour the heavy whipping cream around the rolls in the pan (not on top), tilting the pan to ensure that the bottom of the pan is covered with cream. Bake uncovered for 20 minutes until the cinnamon rolls are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow the cinnamon rolls to cool for 10 minutes.
While the rolls are cooling, place 2 oz of cream cheese in a microwave-safe bowl and heat on HIGH power for 10 seconds to soften the cream cheese. Add in the icing that came with the cinnamon rolls and stir well. Drizzle the cream cheese icing over the cinnamon rolls.
