Puff Pastry Cinnamon Rolls Recipe

You’re only 3 ingredients away from making these easy-peasy puff pastry cinnamon rolls and 3 ingredients away from a simple icing to top them with! Here’s what you need:

• Puff Pastry – This is what makes this recipe so easy and quick! Store-bought puff pastry is amazing, but if you want to make your own homemade puff pastry, go for it! You find this in the freezer section at your local grocer. Once you get it home, store it in the fridge if you plan on making these rolls in the next day or two so they can defrost.
• Brown Sugar and Cinnamon – This is the filling for these easy cinnamon rolls. Talk about simple but SO tasty.
• Icing – Made with powdered sugar, half & half and vanilla. The perfect compliment to these rolls.

How to Make Puff Pastry Cinnamon Rolls

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mat and set aside.
2. Unfold one sheet of puff pastry onto a clean work surface sprinkled with flour. Spread 1/4 cup of brown sugar in a thin even layer over pastry. Press down lightly. Sprinkle with cinnamon {as much or as little as you’d like.} Roll up and cut into 8 even pieces. Place onto the prepared baking sheet cut side up. Repeat with remaining sheet of puff pastry.
3. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until puffed and golden brown.

Simple Icing

This simple icing is the perfect topping to these even easier Cinnamon Rolls.

1. For the icing- mix powdered sugar, vanilla, and half & half together until runny yet slightly thick; when you drizzle the icing back into the bowl, it should hold its shape briefly before falling back into the rest of it. If the icing is runny, add more powdered sugar. If it’s too thick, add in more half & half.
2. Drizzle icing over warm rolls and serve immediately.

Leftovers

Any leftover cinnamon rolls you have can be kept in an airtight container for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply heat through in the microwave or turn your oven to 35o degrees and heat through that way.

Freezing Puff Pastry Cinnamon Rolls

The beauty of this Puff Pastry Cinnamon Rolls recipe is that you can make it ahead of time by freezing before or after baking! Here’s how to do both:

Before. After you spread out the cinnamon-sugar mixture and roll the dough into a log, wrap it very tightly with plastic wrap, and place it in the freezer for up to 2 months. When ready to bake, transfer from the freezer to the fridge and let thaw overnight. Bake as directed and top with sweet icing.

After. Bake as directed then let the cinnamon rolls cool completely. Do not top with icing at this point. Instead transfer the cooled baking sheet into the freezer. Once the cinnamon rolls are fully frozen, you can then transfer them into an airtight freezer-safe storage container. These stay good for up to one month. To reheat, place rolls on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake at 375 until heated through. Top with icing and enjoy!
