Step-by-Step: Making the Oreo-Stuffed Cinnamon Rolls
Step 1: Open and Prep Your Cinnamon Rolls
Start by opening that can of cinnamon rolls this is where the magic begins. Carefully slice each roll, but not all the way through. You want to create a pocket to stuff your Oreos in, so slice just deep enough to open the roll like a little pouch.
Step 2: Dunk and Stuff
Now comes the fun part. Dunk an Oreo cookie in some cold milk this softens it just enough so it melts into the cinnamon roll goodness. Gently stuff that Oreo into the slice you made in the cinnamon roll. Seal the edges tight so the Oreo stays snuggled inside during cooking.
Step 3: Fry to Golden Perfection
Instead of baking, we’re going all out with frying for that crispy, golden exterior. Heat a pan with a little butter or oil on medium heat. Place your stuffed cinnamon rolls carefully in the pan and fry them until they’re golden brown on both sides and heated through. This should take about 3-4 minutes per side keep an eye so they don’t burn!
Step 4: Icing Drizzle
Pop the icing from the can into the microwave for about 10 seconds just enough to warm it so it’s easier to drizzle. Drizzle that sweet, creamy icing all over your warm, crispy, Oreo-stuffed cinnamon rolls. Ooey, gooey, and downright irresistible.
Tips for the Best Oreo-Stuffed Cinnamon Rolls
- Use classic Oreos for that nostalgic flavor, or try flavored Oreos (like mint or peanut butter) for a creative twist.
- Don’t skip dunking the Oreo in milk it helps soften the cookie inside the roll.
- If frying isn’t your thing, you can bake the stuffed rolls at 350°F (175°C) for about 15-18 minutes, but frying gives that extra crispy magic.
- Serve warm, fresh, and with a big smile.
