You've seen the viral Tik Tok cinnamon roll hack using heavy whipping cream, so it's time to level it up and make it even more basic with Pumpkin Spice cinnamon rolls! With just a few tweaks to the trend you can have the perfect fall breakfast treat. Is there anything better than the start of fall and seeing everything in the grocery stores have a pumpkin flavor? This recipe is a subtle nod to the season without being overwhelming, and is the perfect addition to your fall Saturday morning routine.
This trend took off on TikTok, and is so fun to customize. The heavy whipping cream absorbs into the store-bought cinnamon rolls and makes them just like the fancy Cinnabon or bakery versions. They're fluffy and each one tastes like the center piece of a pan of cinnamon rolls.

Tips
- Add seasoning and vanilla extract to the frosting the package of cinnamon rolls comes with to make it a bit more flavorful.
- Double the recipe and bake in a 9x13 pan if you're making breakfast for a larger crowd.
- Cover with foil to help the heavy whipping cream fully absorb into the rolls.
- Keep an eye on your baking time, as every oven varies. I set my timer for 30 minutes and then added 3-4 minutes at a time until they were fully baked.
