Ingredients
  

  • 1 can Cinnamon Rolls
  • 1 1/2 cups Strawberry Frosting
  • 8 tsp Valentine Sprinkles

Instructions
 

  • Pre-Heat the oven to 400 degrees.
  • Open the can carefully and separate the individual cinnamon rolls from the dough.
  • Place each heart-shaped roll on a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving space between each one for expansion during baking.
  • Take both corners of your Cinnamon Rolls and start rolling them to the middle.
  • Once you reach the middle, pinch the bottom to make a point. Make sure to pinch together really good so the dough stays together when baking.
  • Bake for 8-10 minutes. The Cinnamon Rolls cook rather quickly when rolled like a heart, so keep an eye of them!
  • Once the are out of the oven, allow them to cool for about 5 minutes before starting to frost the Valentine hearth-shaped Cinnamon rolls. This short cooling period ensures the icing doesn’t melt completely, but remains soft enough to spread easily.

Notes

Strawberry Frosting: A Sweet and Festive Twist
Instead of using the cinnamon roll can’s standard frosting, swapping it for strawberry frosting adds a lovely pink colour and a fruity flavour that pairs beautifully with cinnamon. You can use 1 store-bought vanilla frosting can and add a small amount of strawberry jam, puree, or a few drops of red food colouring, or make homemade strawberry frosting.
Storing Leftovers
If you have any leftover cinnamon rolls (which is rare!), store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in the microwave for 15-20 seconds before serving to restore softness. Avoid refrigerating leftovers as it can dry out the dough. Instead, if you want to keep them longer, freeze unbaked shaped rolls on a baking tray until solid, then transfer to a freezer bag. When ready to bake, thaw in the fridge overnight and bake as usual.
