Ice Cream Cinnamon Rolls

Time: 20 minutes

Yield: 6 servings

About

Yes, Ice Cream Cinnamon Rolls are absolutely a thing. The idea is simple — melt the ice cream into the cinnamon rolls as they bake. That way, the rolls become even richer and sweeter than before, with a welcome touch of dreamy vanilla to contrast with the warmth of the cinnamon. With its creamy icing drizzled on top, there's nothing that could make Ice Cream Cinnamon Rolls better... except for more ice cream on the side!
