Fluffy cinnamon rolls in a fun brain shape with colorful icing for a festive sweet treat.
# Ingredients:
→ Dough and filling
01 -
2 cans (17.5 oz each) Pillsbury Grands cinnamon rolls
→ Coating and color
02 -
Non-stick baking spray
03 -
Red food coloring
# Steps:
01 -
Open both cans of cinnamon roll dough and reserve the icing. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
02 -
Unroll each cinnamon roll almost to the center, maintaining a spiral shape. Generously coat a 10-inch round casserole dish with non-stick spray. Arrange half of the dough in folds on one side of the baking dish. Repeat with the remaining dough on the opposite side, leaving a 1/2-inch gap down the center.
03 -
Bake for 30 minutes, or until the surface turns golden brown and the dough is cooked through.
04 -
In a medium bowl, combine the reserved icing with a drop of red food coloring to produce a pink hue. Spread the tinted icing over the baked cinnamon roll casserole using a butter knife. Cut into wedges to serve or allow guests to pull apart portions with a fork.
# Notes:

For best presentation, apply the icing while the baked dough is still warm to encourage slight melting and even coverage.
