Ingredients for Fake Cinnabon

Fake Cinnamon Rolls

 

  • 7 thick slices of French baguette

  • 1 cup full-fat milk

  • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon

  • 12 cubes of processed cheese

  • 100 grams melted butter

  • Chopped walnuts (as desired)

For the topping:

  • 4 cubes of processed cheese

  • 1½ cans of sweetened condensed milk

Optional toppings at serving:

How to Make Fake Cinnabon

  1. In a saucepan, combine the 12 cheese cubes with the full-fat milk and mix until smooth.

  2. Add the melted butter and stir until fully incorporated.

  3. Mix in the cinnamon and continue stirring until all ingredients are well blended.

  4. Dip each slice of baguette into the mixture, making sure it absorbs the liquid. Use tongs to transfer the soaked slices into a baking tray.

  5. Sprinkle chopped walnuts between the slices for added texture and flavor.


To Prepare the Topping:

  2. Pour about three-quarters of this topping over the bread slices in the tray, spreading it evenly.

  3. Bake the tray in a preheated oven for 15 minutes.


Finishing Touches:

  • After baking, pour the rest of the cheese and condensed milk mixture over the top.

  • Drizzle with chocolate sauce and garnish with more walnuts as desired.
