Instructions

Prepare the Oven and Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal of the rolls after baking.
Arrange Cinnamon Rolls: Place the refrigerated cinnamon rolls in the prepared baking dish, spacing them slightly apart to allow room for expansion as they bake.
Add Heavy Cream: Pour the ½ cup of heavy cream evenly over the cinnamon rolls, helping to keep them moist and adding richness to the final texture.
Mix Topping and Drizzle: In a small bowl, thoroughly mix the melted butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract until well combined. Spoon or drizzle this mixture evenly over the top of the cinnamon rolls to infuse them with sweet, buttery flavor.
Bake Covered: Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 30 to 35 minutes until the rolls are puffed up and cooked through. For a more golden top, remove the foil during the last 5 minutes of baking.
Cool and Ice: Remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes. Warm the included icing slightly in the microwave, about 10 seconds, then drizzle it over the warm rolls before serving to add a creamy sweetness.

Notes

Try different flavored canned cinnamon rolls like pumpkin spice or orange zest for seasonal variety.
Add chopped pecans or walnuts on top before baking for added crunch and flavor.
For extra indulgence, drizzle cream cheese frosting on the warm rolls instead of the included icing.
