step by step
Method
- Step 1
Arrange the cinnamon rolls
- Place the cinnamon rolls in a baking dish.
- Drizzle the heavy cream lightly over the top so it soaks into the rolls.
- Step 2
Make the brown butter sauce
- Melt the butter in a saucepan and let it brown.
- Add the brown sugar, vanilla extract and cinnamon.
- Whisk until thick and glossy like a sauce, adding more brown sugar if needed.
- Step 3
Pour the sauce over the rolls
- Pour the brown butter sauce evenly over the cinnamon rolls.
- Scrape out every last bit of the sauce.
- Step 4
Top with pecans
- Scatter the chopped pecans over the top so they stick to the sauce.
- Step 5
Bake
- Bake in an oven preheated to 175 °C until puffed and golden.
- Step 6
Frost and serve
- Spread the frosting from the package over the warm rolls.
- Serve immediately while sticky and gooey.
