Store-bought cinnamon rolls speed up this fast and festive holiday breakfast or brunch. This edible Christmas tree uses just five ingredients and can be ready in under 30 minutes.
Ingredients
- 2 (12.4 oz) tubes Pillsbury ™ Cinnamon Rolls
- 1 orange
- Green sanding sugar, as needed
- 1 tbsp cinnamon hard candies or red candy-coated chocolate pieces
- 1 tbsp small marshmallows
Steps
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment. Separate the cinnamon rolls from each other. Reserve icing packets.
- To create the tree shape, place 1 cinnamon roll at the bottom of prepared baking sheet. Leaving ½ inch between rolls, arrange 5 cinnamon rolls in a row above it. Arrange 4 rolls in third row, 3 rolls in fourth row, 2 rolls in fifth row, and 1 roll at the top. Bake 15–20 min., until rolls are golden brown and cooked through.
- Meanwhile, from the orange, grate 2 tsp zest and squeeze 1 tbsp juice into a medium bowl. Add reserved icing and whisk to combine. Drizzle glaze over cinnamon rolls. Sprinkle with the sanding sugar. Decorate with cinnamon candies and marshmallows for the ornaments.
