Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 can cinnamon rolls with icing
Decoration:
- 1 package green sparkling sugar sprinkles
- 1 package non-pareils sprinkles
- 1 package star sprinkles
Instructions
- Warm the oven to the temperature indicated on the cinnamon roll packaging. Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure smooth release and prevent sticking.
- Extract the cinnamon rolls from the container. Carefully unroll the first pastry, positioning it into a multi-tiered zigzag configuration that will form the foundational section of the tree.
- Methodically connect subsequent rolls, pressing their edges together to create a seamless, tapering silhouette that mimics an evergreen’s natural triangular shape.
- Progressively construct each tier slightly narrower than the previous one, ensuring the entire structure maintains a cohesive and symmetrical Christmas tree outline.
- Gently press all segments together, securing their connections to preserve the intricate design during the baking process.
- Transfer the elaborate pastry formation onto the prepared baking sheet, positioning it centrally to allow even heat distribution.
- Bake according to the package instructions, monitoring the color and texture to achieve a golden-brown finish.
- Immediately after removing from the oven, generously drizzle the accompanying white icing across the warm surface, allowing it to cascade naturally.
- Embellish the festive creation with green sugar sprinkles, non-pareils, and a star-shaped topping to complete the whimsical holiday design.
Notes
- Quickly transform store-bought cinnamon rolls into a festive holiday centerpiece with minimal effort and maximum visual impact.
- Carefully reshape each roll in a zigzag pattern, gradually decreasing tier sizes to create an authentic Christmas tree silhouette.
- Press roll segments gently but firmly together to maintain structural integrity during baking, ensuring a cohesive tree design.
- Work strategically from bottom to top, connecting roll segments to build a tree that looks professionally crafted.
- Use provided icing and colorful sprinkles to add whimsical decoration, turning a simple pastry into a show-stopping dessert.
- Serve immediately after baking for optimal taste and visual appeal, making it a delightful surprise for family and friends.
