The magic begins with the unassuming can of cinnamon rolls you’d typically find at your local grocery store.
Kristin emphasizes that you don’t need to splurge on expensive brands — the cheaper ones will do just fine.
The first step is to open the cans and arrange the rolls in a greased baking pan. But don’t discard the icing packets that come with them; you’ll need those later.

As Kristin arranges the rolls, she fills in the center holes with extra pieces from the can, ensuring that no delicious morsel goes to waste.
It’s a clever way to maximize the use of your ingredients and make the dish look fuller.
The rolls are then ready for their first transformative ingredient: heavy whipping cream.

With a generous pour, Kristin covers the rolls in the pan with the cream.
The cream serves a dual purpose: it adds richness and ensures that the rolls turn out moist and fluffy.
She insists on using real butter to grease the pan, emphasizing that quality ingredients make all the difference.

Next comes a luscious mixture of melted butter, brown sugar, and a dash of ground cinnamon.
While you might think adding more cinnamon to cinnamon rolls is overkill, Kristin assures that a little extra never hurt anyone.

But the real game-changer is a pinch of fancy salt, which elevates the flavors to a whole new level.
After thoroughly mixing these ingredients, Kristin drizzles the buttery, sugary concoction over the rolls.
The mixture seeps into the crevices, promising a burst of flavor in every bite.

Once everything is evenly coated, she wraps the pan in foil and pops it into a preheated oven at 350°F.
About 45 minutes later, the rolls are ready to make their grand appearance. As Kristin peels back the foil, the rolls have transformed into a golden, gooey masterpiece.
The house fills with an intoxicating scent that rivals any professional bakery.

But wait, there’s one final touch. Remember those icing packets? Kristin snips off the tips and generously drizzles the icing over the warm rolls.
The icing melts instantly, creating a glossy finish that’s the cherry on top of this culinary triumph.

As Kristin takes her first bite, her eyes light up, and it’s clear that this hack is a resounding success.
The rolls are incredibly soft, and the flavors are perfectly balanced—sweet, but not overly so, with a hint of saltiness that makes them irresistibly good.
It’s a simple yet revolutionary way to enjoy cinnamon rolls, proving that sometimes the best things in life are just a hack away.
