Ingredients

2 cans Pillsbury Grands Cinnamon Rolls with Icing (17.5 oz., 5 count each)
1 cup heavy cream (or more)
½ cup unsalted butter melted
¾ cup light brown sugar
½ tbsp cinnamon
¼ tsp coarse salt
3 tbsp caramel sauce optional
¼ cup mini chocolate chips optional

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat a 9x13 baking dish with nonstick spray.
Open up both packages of cinnamon rolls and set the icing aside. Separate the biscuits and place them in the prepared pan in a single layer.
Pour the heavy cream into the bottom of the pan around the cinnamon rolls (not on top)—it should come halfway up the cinnamon rolls, so add more only if needed.
Whisk together the butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, and caramel sauce (if using) until combined. Pour the mixture evenly on top of the cinnamon rolls. Sprinkle the chocolate chips (if using) over the top.
Cover with foil and bake for 40 minutes until all the cream has been absorbed and the rolls are big and puffy. Remove foil and bake another 5 minutes.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5-10 minutes, then pour the reserved icing over the cinnamon rolls.
Serve each roll with some of the drippings from the bottom of the pan, it's like glorious extra icing!
