Total Time:30 minutes
Yield:8 servings
Ingredients
Cinnamon Roll Skewers
1 can (8 count) cinnamon-roll dough
4 oz cream cheese, softened
Cinnamon Glaze
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1 tablespoon milk
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of sea salt
Extra pinch of sea salt for sprinkling
Instructions
Preparing the Skewers: Start by separating the cinnamon-roll dough into eight equal rectangles. Flatten each rectangle with your hands until it is about 1/4-inch thick. Place a dollop of softened cream cheese in the center, then wrap the dough around the filling and thread them carefully onto skewers.
Making the Cinnamon Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt until the mixture is smooth and pourable. Add more milk if needed to reach the right consistency.
Cooking the Skewers: Bake the prepared cinnamon roll skewers according to the package instructions for the dough, typically at 350°F for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown. Once baked, remove from the oven and immediately drizzle with the cinnamon glaze. Allow the glazed skewers to rest for 2-3 minutes to let the glaze set. Finish by sprinkling a tiny pinch of sea salt over the top to enhance the flavor, then serve warm. They are best enjoyed straight from the oven.
Notes
Make sure the cream cheese is softened to spread easily and avoid tearing the dough.
If you prefer a thicker glaze, reduce the milk slightly; for a thinner glaze, add a little more milk gradually.
Use metal or bamboo skewers soaked in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning if baking at high temperatures.
For a dairy-free version, substitute cream cheese with a vegan cream cheese alternative and use plant-based milk in the glaze.
These skewers are excellent served warm but can be reheated briefly in the oven before serving.
