Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 cans cinnamon rolls with frosting ($4.48)
- Red and blue food coloring ($0.04)
Instructions
- Preheat & Prep: Preheat the oven to the temperature listed on the cinnamon roll package. Grease a 9 by 13 inch baking dish.
- Prepare the Rolls: Open the cans of cinnamon rolls and separate the frosting from the rolls.
- Shape the Rolls: Unravel each cinnamon roll and loosely place them into the baking dish in wavy lines and sections. Fill gaps as needed. Do not pack them tightly, as they will expand while baking.
- Bake: Bake according to the instructions on the cinnamon roll packaging. Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly while preparing the frosting.
- Color the Frosting: Transfer the frosting to a small bowl. Add a small amount of red food coloring and mix until pink. Add a tiny amount of blue food coloring, then add more red a little at a time until the desired shade of purple is reached.
- Frost: Spoon the colored frosting over the warm cinnamon rolls. Use a pastry brush or spoon to work the frosting into the curves and crevices.
- Serve: Slice and serve while warm.
Notes
- Roll Selection: Not all canned cinnamon rolls unroll easily. Avoid brands that do not separate cleanly. Store brands and higher end options like Annie’s tend to work best.
- Bake Time: Always follow the temperature and bake time listed on the cinnamon roll packaging, as this varies by brand.
- Color Control: Add blue food coloring sparingly. A very small amount goes a long way.
- Serving Tip: These are best served warm while the frosting is soft and spreadable.
