Fresh strawberry flavor truly enhances canned cinnamon rolls in a special way to create our Strawberry Cinnamon Rolls recipe.
Popular on Tiktok, chopped strawberries on top of jumbo cinnamon rolls soaked in heavy cream creates a special breakfast with very little effort!
Strawberry Cinnamon Rolls Recipe
If you like a little added something special, juicy strawberries are a great way to dress up breakfast. Serve with our classic Sausage, Egg and Cheese Casserole or a Crescent Roll Breakfast Pizza to round out the meal.
Taking inspiration from our Canned Cinnamon Rolls with Heavy Cream, we love how a sweet crunchy cinnamon topping bakes on strawberries to enhance rich cinnamon roll with a soft center. We often enjoy fruit with breakfast, but baking it into a package of canned cinnamon rolls creates a whole new experience.
The heavy cream makes the rolls fluffier and the strawberry adds an enjoyable fruity flavor to create a semi homemade recipe for strawberry cream cinnamon rolls.
A simple recipe like this is perfect for Christmas or Easter morning because it takes very little time to prepare. Add some Fruit Salad or the best Healthy Granola for a meal everyone will enjoy!
