Equipment

9 x 13 baking dish
2-cup liquid measuring cup

Ingredients

2 cans Pillsbury Grands! Cinnamon Rolls (See NOTE 1)
1 cup light brown sugar (See NOTE 2)
1 cup heavy cream (See NOTE 4)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 F.
Lightly spray 9 x 13 baking dish with cooking spray, or grease the pan with butter.
Open cans by following the directions on the label. Set aside both tubs of icing.
Arrange the 10 rolls (5 in each can) in a 9" x 13" baking dish as follows: 4 rolls down the middle and 3 on each side.
In a small bowl or 2-cup glass measuring cup, place 1 cup brown sugar and 1 cup heavy cream. Mix well until it looks like melted ice cream.
Pour the liquid over the rolls
Bake at 350 F for 32 - 36 minutes. (Do not overtake!) Remove rolls from the oven. Allow cooling for 2 to 5 minutes.
Spread the icing over the rolls.

Notes

To make half this recipe (1 tube of 5 cinnamon rolls) start with an 8" x 8" baking dish, 1 can of Grands! Cinnamon Rolls, 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream, 1/2 cup brown sugar. Place one roll in each corner of the pan and one in the center. Carry on.
While the recipe stipulates light brown sugar, the dark option works well so use what you have. I will say that my familyl prefers the recipe made with light brown sugar.
DIY brown sugar: Yes you can make it yourself! Place 1 cup of white granulated sugar and 2 tablespoons of molasses in a small bowl. Using a fork, press and stir until the molasses and sugar are fully incorporated.
Heavy cream or heavy whipping cream work equally well.
