How to Make Pillsbury Cinnamon Rolls Taste Like Cinnabon

Last updated
Ever wonder how you can make those store-bought Pillsbury cinnamon rolls taste just like the ones from Cinnabon? You’re in the right spot.
Let’s dive into transforming those Pillsbury delights into Cinnabon-level treats!
Secret Ingredients and Baking Tips
The magic lies in a few secret ingredients and specific baking tips. First, it’s all about enhancing that rich, gooey center and getting the frosting just right.
Add extra butter and a dash of cinnamon to the rolls before baking. This boosts the moisture and flavor, getting them closer to Cinnabon’s signature taste. Also, warming your frosting before spreading it on the warm rolls can mimic that melt-in-your-mouth experience that Cinnabon is famous for.
Enhancing the Frosting
The frosting is crucial. Mix cream cheese, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar into the Pillsbury-provided frosting. This combination brings it closer to that creamy, dreamy Cinnabon frosting we all crave.
Remember, the key is to apply the frosting while the rolls are warm but not piping hot. This way, it seeps into the rolls just enough, without all of it melting away.
