Cinnamon Roll Braid Recipe with Chocolate and Cream Cheese
This semi-homemade cinnamon roll braid recipe has chocolate and cream cheese going on for days. It will make your guests THINK you spent all day slaving away in the kitchen, but it’ll be our little secret that it took you less than 20 minutes from making to done. (I promise I won’t tell)
- 1 Can of Pillsbury Grands Cinnamon Rolls
- 1 8 oz block of Cream Cheese
- 1 Cup Chocolate Chips
- 1 tsp Vanilla
- 1/4 Cup Powdered Sugar
Directions:
- On a lined baking sheet, roll out the cinnamon rolls making sure they are next to each other. Cut the cinnamon rolls in half.
- Place the cinnamon roll rows, flat on a cookie sheet so you have a tall but skinny section of unrolled cinnamon rolls.
- In a mixer, or with a hand mixer, place the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla. Blend until smooth.
- Down the center of the cinnamon rolls, put the cream cheese mixture, and then top with chocolate chips
- Alternating sides, fold the first cinnamon roll from the left over the middle mixture, then fold the right side. Continue until the cinnamon roll is “braided” all the way to the top.
- Place in the oven at 350 for 12-20 minutes until the tops are golden brown.
- Remove from oven, and drizzle with melted chocolate and cinnamon roll icing.
- Allow to cool before serving.
