How to Make Crispy Cinnamon Cream Rolls

Ingredients:

• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 3/4 cup powdered sugar
• 3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Directions:

1. Start by slicing off the crusts from each piece of white bread. Use a rolling pin to flatten them to about a quarter-inch thickness.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth.
3. In another bowl, mix the granulated sugar and cinnamon for the coating.
4. Spread the cream cheese filling over each flattened bread slice, then roll tightly into logs and seal the edges.
5. Dip each roll in melted butter and then roll in the cinnamon sugar mixture until coated.
6. Place rolls seam side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
7. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 20 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp.
8. Serve warm for maximum gooeyness.

How to Serve Crispy Cinnamon Cream Rolls

These rolls are best served warm. You can dust them with extra powdered sugar or not. Consider pairing them with a side of fresh fruit, a scoop of ice cream, or a drizzle of chocolate sauce for an extra special touch.

How to Store Crispy Cinnamon Cream Rolls

To store leftover rolls, let them cool completely. Place them in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 2 days. You can also freeze them for longer storage. When ready to eat, reheat in the oven for a few minutes until warm.

Tips to Make Crispy Cinnamon Cream Rolls

• Ensure the cream cheese is softened for easy spreading.
• Don’t skip the rolling step; tight rolls keep the filling inside.
• Adjust the cinnamon sugar mix based on your taste; add more cinnamon for extra spice.

Variation

For a chocolate twist, try adding mini chocolate chips to the cream cheese filling. You can also experiment with different types of bread, like brioche or whole wheat.

FAQs

1. Can I use whole wheat bread instead of white bread?
Yes, you can use whole wheat bread if you prefer a healthier option.

2. How can I make these rolls ahead of time?
You can prepare the rolls and freeze them before baking. Just bake them directly from the freezer, adding a few more minutes to the baking time.

3. Is there a way to make them less sweet?
You can reduce the amount of powdered sugar in the cream cheese mixture and the granulated sugar in the cinnamon mix according to your preference.
