Delight in these luscious Tres Leche Cinnamon Rolls, where classic cinnamon rolls are soaked in a rich blend of evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, and heavy cream for a moist, decadent treat that combines the best of cinnamon spice and creamy sweetness.

Ingredients

Cinnamon Rolls

  • 1 can of premade cinnamon rolls (8 count)

Tres Leche Mixture

  • ½ cup evaporated milk
  • ½ cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 cup heavy cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly spray a 9x13 inch baking pan with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Arrange Cinnamon Rolls: Place the premade cinnamon rolls evenly spaced in the prepared baking pan to allow room for rising and soaking.
  3. Mix Tres Leche Sauce: In a bowl, whisk together the evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, and heavy cream until fully combined and smooth.
  4. Pour Milk Mixture Over Rolls: Pour the milk mixture evenly over the cinnamon rolls, making sure each roll is well coated and beginning to soak in the mixture.
  5. Bake: Bake the cinnamon rolls in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes until the rolls are cooked through and the top is golden and slightly caramelized.
  6. Add Icing: Remove from the oven and immediately spread the icing that comes in the cinnamon roll package over the top of the rolls before they cool, allowing it to melt slightly and enhance the flavor.

Notes

  • Use fresh cinnamon rolls for best texture and flavor.
  • Ensure the milk mixture is well whisked to soak the rolls evenly.
  • Adjust baking time slightly if using different size rolls to avoid under or over baking.
  • Serve warm for a soft, creamy dessert experience.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator and reheat gently before serving.
