Notes

Heavy cream keeps the rolls soft, fluffy, and extra gooey.
Check the center rolls for doneness before removing from the oven.
Tent loosely with foil if the tops brown too quickly.
Let the rolls cool slightly before frosting.
Spoon the caramel sauce from the pan over the rolls before serving.
Other brands of cinnamon rolls work too; adjust bake time as needed.
Prep the rolls the night before for an easy morning bake.
Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
