Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can (8 rolls) refrigerated cinnamon rolls with icing
- 1/4 cup strawberry jelly
- All-purpose flour (for dusting)
- Optional: Pink or red food coloring (to tint the icing)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Shape the Cinnamon Rolls:
- Open the can of cinnamon rolls and separate them. Unroll each piece into a strip.
- Flatten the strips slightly and fold each one into a V-shape to resemble the bottom point of a heart.
- Shape the ends of the V into the top curves of a heart. Gently pinch and adjust to perfect the heart shape.
- Secure the Heart Shape:
- Place the heart-shaped rolls on the prepared baking sheet.
- Flatten the base of the heart slightly to create a small well for the filling.
- Partial Baking:
- Bake the shaped cinnamon rolls for 5 minutes. This allows them to firm up slightly, creating a base for the jelly.
- Add Jelly Filling:
- Remove the cinnamon rolls from the oven. Carefully spoon a small amount of strawberry jelly into the center of each heart and spread it evenly.
- Bake to Perfection:
- Return the rolls to the oven and bake for an additional 6–8 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Prepare the Icing:
- If desired, tint the included icing with a drop or two of pink or red food coloring for a festive touch.
- Drizzle and Serve:
- Once baked, drizzle the icing across the finished hearts. Serve warm and enjoy the adorable Valentine’s treat!
Notes
- Be sure to keep an eye on the rolls during the second baking step to avoid over-baking.
- You can also substitute the strawberry jelly with raspberry or even a chocolate spread for a twist.
