Ingredients for Oreo Stuffed Cinnamon Rolls

How to Make Oreo Stuffed Cinnamon Rolls Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare Your Workspace

Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.

2. Make the Oreo Cream Cheese Filling

Take the softened cream cheese and place it in a mixing bowl. Crush 8-10 Oreo cookies into small pieces (you can use a food processor or place them in a sealed bag and crush with a rolling pin). Mix the crushed Oreos into the cream cheese until well combined. The mixture should be thick and spreadable.

3. Prepare the Cinnamon Rolls

Open the can of Pillsbury Grands cinnamon rolls and separate them. Gently unroll each cinnamon roll into a long strip. If the dough is too springy, you can use a rolling pin to flatten it slightly.

4. Add the Filling

Spread about 1-2 tablespoons of the Oreo cream cheese mixture onto each unrolled cinnamon roll strip. Make sure to leave a small border around the edges so the filling does not squeeze out when you roll it back up.

5. Roll Them Back Up

Carefully roll each cinnamon roll back into its spiral shape, keeping the Oreo filling inside. Place each stuffed roll in your prepared baking dish, leaving a small amount of space between each one.

6. Pour the Heavy Cream

Once all the rolls are in the dish, pour the heavy cream evenly over the top of the rolls. This will soak into the dough as it bakes, creating extra softness and richness.

7. Bake

Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 23-25 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown on top and cooked through in the center.

8. Add the Icing

Remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool for about 5 minutes. While they are still warm, spread the included icing from the Pillsbury package over the top. For extra Oreo flavor, crush 2 additional Oreos and sprinkle them over the iced rolls.

Serving and Decoration

Serve these Oreo Stuffed Cinnamon Rolls warm from the oven for the best experience. The cream cheese filling will be soft and melty, and the icing will spread easily over the warm rolls.

For a special presentation, place each roll on an individual plate and add a dusting of powdered sugar. You can also serve with a glass of cold milk or a hot cup of coffee. If you want to go all out, add a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side for an over-the-top dessert experience.

Storing Oreo Stuffed Cinnamon Rolls

• Room Temperature: Store leftover rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
• Refrigerator: Keep rolls in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 5 days. Reheat individual rolls in the microwave for 15-20 seconds before serving.
• Freezer: Wrap cooled rolls individually in plastic wrap, then place in a freezer-safe bag. Freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw at room temperature and reheat before serving.

Tips and Tricks for Success

• Soften the Cream Cheese: Make sure your cream cheese is fully softened to room temperature. This makes it much easier to mix with the crushed Oreos and spread onto the dough.
• Don’t Overfill: While it may be tempting to add lots of filling, too much will cause it to leak out during baking. Stick to 1-2 tablespoons per roll.
• Watch the Baking Time: Every oven is different. Start checking your rolls at 23 minutes to prevent over-browning.
• Crush Oreos to Your Preference: Some people like bigger chunks of Oreos in their filling, while others prefer a finer crumb. Adjust the crush size to your liking.
• Warm the Icing: If the included icing is too thick to spread, microwave it for 5-10 seconds to make it more pourable.

Oreo Stuffed Cinnamon Rolls FAQs

Can I make these ahead of time? Yes. You can assemble the stuffed rolls the night before, cover them tightly with plastic wrap, and refrigerate overnight. In the morning, let them sit at room temperature for 15 minutes, then pour the cream over and bake as directed. You may need to add 2-3 extra minutes to the baking time.

Can I use homemade cinnamon roll dough? Absolutely. If you prefer to make cinnamon rolls from scratch, this Oreo cream cheese filling works beautifully with any cinnamon roll recipe.

What if I do not have heavy cream? You can substitute with half-and-half or whole milk. The rolls will still be delicious, though slightly less rich.

Can I use a different cookie? Yes. Try this recipe with crushed chocolate chip cookies, Nutter Butters, or any other sandwich cookie you enjoy.

Why did my filling leak out? This can happen if you overfill the rolls or if the dough is not sealed properly when you roll it back up. Make sure to leave a border around the edges and press gently to seal.

How do I know when the rolls are done? The rolls should be golden brown on top and firm to the touch. If you are unsure, you can insert a toothpick into the center of a roll. If it comes out clean, they are done.

Conclusion

Oreo Stuffed Cinnamon Rolls bring together two beloved treats in one easy recipe. The soft, sweet cinnamon roll dough pairs perfectly with the creamy, cookie-filled center, creating a breakfast or dessert that feels special without requiring advanced baking skills. Whether you are making them for a holiday morning, a birthday brunch, or just because, these rolls are sure to disappear quickly.
