Description

Delicious cinnamon rolls filled with crushed Oreo cookies, topped with a creamy frosting, perfect for any sweet tooth.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound frozen bread dough, thawed in the fridge overnight
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup crushed Oreo cookies
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/8 cup heavy cream
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup crushed Oreo cookies

Instructions

  1. Remove 1 pound frozen bread dough from the fridge (thawed overnight) and place on a lightly floured cutting board or a floured piece of parchment. Use a rolling pin to roll the dough into a 12 × 18-inch rectangle.
  2. In a small bowl, stir together ¼ cup softened unsalted butter, ½ cup packed light brown sugar, 1 tablespoon cinnamon, and 1 tablespoon cocoa powder until you have a spreadable paste.
  3. Use a spatula to spread the butter/sugar paste evenly over the rolled dough, leaving a small margin along one long edge. Sprinkle 1 cup crushed Oreo cookies evenly over the butter mixture. (Reserve the other 1 cup crushed Oreo cookies for the topping.)
  4. Starting from the long side opposite the margin, roll the dough up tightly into a log. Pinch the seam and the ends to seal.
  5. Use a sharp knife or dental floss to slice the log into twelve 2-inch-wide pieces. Place each piece cut-side up in a lightly greased 9 × 13-inch baking dish, leaving equal space between the rolls.
  6. Cover the dish with a light towel and set in a warm, draft-free place to rise for about 2 hours, or until the rolls are noticeably puffy.
  7. When the rolls have risen and are puffy, preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C).
  8. Pour ½ cup heavy whipping cream evenly over the risen cinnamon rolls.
  9. Bake the rolls in the preheated 350°F oven for 20–25 minutes, or until they are lightly browned and cooked through. Remove from the oven.
  10. While the rolls are baking or immediately after removing them from the oven, make the frosting: beat together 4 ounces softened cream cheese, 1½ cups powdered sugar, ⅛ cup heavy cream, and ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth.
  11. Spread the frosting over the warm cinnamon rolls.
  12. Sprinkle the reserved 1 cup crushed Oreo cookies over the frosted rolls. Serve warm.

Notes

  • Ensure the dough is fully thawed for best results.
  • Use fresh Oreo cookies for the topping for optimal crunchiness.
  • Can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
