These cinnamon rolls are made with a soft, pillowy dough enriched with eggs and butter, filled with a rich cinnamon-sugar mixture, and topped with a luscious cream cheese frosting. The secret to their extra softness is pouring a cream mix over the rolls just before baking. The result is golden, fragrant rolls with a gooey center and a silky frosting that melts into the warm rolls.

Can I make the dough ahead of time?

What can I use instead of heavy cream for the cream mix?
You can substitute heavy cream with whole milk, but the rolls may be slightly less rich.
How do I know when the rolls are done baking?
The rolls are done when they are golden brown on top and sound hollow when tapped.
Can I freeze the cinnamon rolls?
Yes, you can freeze the unbaked rolls after slicing. Thaw them in the refrigerator overnight, let them rise, and bake as directed.
Why is my frosting lumpy?
Ensure the cream cheese and butter are softened to room temperature before mixing to avoid lumps.
