Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make these Cinnamon Roll Sliders:

• Butter: Used to grease the pan and create a rich, buttery filling.
• Hawaiian rolls: These sweet and fluffy rolls are the perfect base for the sliders.
• Brown sugar: Packed, it adds sweetness and a hint of molasses flavor.
• Cinnamon: The star of the show, providing that warm and comforting spice.
• Melted butter: Used to pour around the edges of the dish for extra richness.

For the Icing:

• Cream cheese: Softened, it creates a creamy and tangy icing.
• Powdered sugar: Adds sweetness and creates a smooth texture.
• Heavy cream: Adjusts the consistency of the icing.
• Vanilla extract: Enhances the flavor of the icing.

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.
