How to MakeHeart-Shaped Cinnamon Roll Biscuits

Ingredients

FOR THE BISCUITS:

  • self-rising flour
  • heavy cream

FOR THE CINNAMON ROLL FILLING:

  • butter
  • brown sugar
  • ground cinnamon

FOR THE ICING:

  • confectioner’s sugar
  • heavy cream
  • vanilla extract

Step-by-Step Instructions

Prep. Preheat the oven to 475º F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Make the dough. Make mytwo ingredient cream biscuit dough as the base. Pour the dough onto a lightly floured surface and roll it into a 1/4-inch thick rectangle.

Add the cinnamon roll filling. Spread the butter onto the surface of the dough and then sprinkle with the cinnamon and sugar.

Roll the dough. Roll one long edge of the dough toward the center of the rectangle. Then, roll the opposite long edge of the dough toward the center of the rectangle until it meets the other rolled dough.

Cut into hearts. Using a sharp knife or string, cut the biscuits into 1 1/2 – 2-inch thick pieces. Place them onto a prepared baking sheet. I like to take another second or so and make sure that the point of the heart is apparent.

Bake. Place them into the preheated oven and bake them until they are cooked through and golden brown, about 12 minutes.

Make icing. While the cinnamon roll biscuits are baking, I mix together my icing so that once they come out of the oven, I am ready to drizzle each one before serving.

While you can skip adding the icing if you’d like, but oh my goodness, I certainly do recommendincluding it if you can!

Prep Time: 10 minutes minutes

Cook Time: 12 minutes minutes

Total Time: 22 minutes minutes

Servings: 12

Ingredients

Biscuits:

  • 2 cups (226 g) self-rising flour
  • 1 1/2 cups (357 g) heavy cream

Cinnamon Roll Filling:

  • 3 tablespoons (42 g) butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon (3 g) brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons (5 g) ground cinnamon

Icing:

  • 1 cup (113.5 g) confectioner’s sugar
  • 1/4 cups (59.5 g) heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon (5 g) vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 475ºF. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set asid.

  • Add the flour to a large mixing bowl. Slowly pour cream into the flour and stir together until just combined. Pour the dough onto a lightly floured surface and roll into a 1/4-inch thick rectangle.

For the filling

  • Pour melted butter on top of biscuit dough. Spread to make sure it reaches the edges of the dough.

  • Mix together cinnamon and sugar and sprinkle on top of melted butter. Roll the dough, beginning at the long edge, to the center of the rectangle. Repeat from the other side for the two rolls of the dough to meet in the center. Cut dough into rolls about 1½ – 2 inches thick. Place slices onto parchment paper lined sheet pan and reinforce the shape of the heart, if needed. Place the pan into the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly browned and cooked through. Do not over bake.

For the icing

  • As the cinnamon roll biscuits are baking, mix together the confectioner’s sugar, heavy cream and vanilla until well combined and smooth. Remove the biscuits from the oven and then drizzle the glaze over the top and serve.
