Ingredients

  • 17.5 ounces Pillsbury Grands! Cinnamon Rolls (5 count)

Cream Cheese Tails

  • 3 ounces cream cheese room temperature
  • 2 Tablespoons unsalted butter room temperature
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  • Take the rolls out of the can and unroll them onto a clean surface. Take the 2 ends of the dough and fold it in half so that the cinnamon filling is in the middle and press the two halves together.
  • To assemble the bunnies, first place a roll in a U shape on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Fold one side over the other and repeat two more times so the ends are twisted 3 times.
  • Press each twist firmly down on the prepared baking sheet and separate the end of the twists so that they look like bunny ears.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes until golden brown.
  • Take them out of the oven and let cool.
  • While they are cooling, in a medium mixing bowl add the cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar and vanilla. Mix with a hand held mixer until smooth. Once the twists are cool, put a spoon full of cream cheese topping on the bottom of the twists making it resemble a fluffy bunny tail.
