How to Make Cinnamon Roll Sliders

Step 1: Prepare the Rolls

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter.
  2. Without breaking the rolls apart, use a bread knife to cut the sheet of rolls in half horizontally.
  3. Place the bottom sheet in the prepared baking dish.

Step 2: Make the Filling

  1. In a small bowl, mix together the softened butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon until well combined.
  2. Spoon half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture onto the bottom sheet of rolls and spread it evenly to the edges.
  3. Top with the second sheet of rolls and spread the remaining cinnamon-sugar mixture over the top.
  4. Pour the melted butter around the edges of the dish.

Step 3: Bake and Ice

  1. Bake the sliders for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown and heated through.
  2. While the sliders are baking, prepare the icing: In a small bowl, mix together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, heavy cream, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Drizzle the icing over the warm sliders and serve immediately.

Pro Tips for Making the Recipe

  • Use room temperature butter: This will make it easier to mix the filling and spread it evenly.
  • Don’t overbake: Overbaking will result in dry sliders. Keep an eye on them and remove them from the oven when they are golden brown.
  • Warm the icing: If the icing is too thick, you can warm it slightly in the microwave for a few seconds to make it easier to drizzle

How to Serve

  • Breakfast or Brunch: Serve these sliders alongside fresh fruit, yogurt, and your favorite breakfast beverages.
  • Dessert: Enjoy them warm with a scoop of ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
  • Snack: These sliders are perfect for an afternoon pick-me-up or a late-night treat.

Make Ahead and Storage

Storing Leftovers

Store leftover sliders in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Reheating

Reheat the sliders in a preheated oven at 350°F for a few minutes, or until warmed through.
