Instructions
Cinnamon Roll Bites
Take out your parchment paper and cut 2 8-inch round pieces to line the bottom of your air fryer basket.
Open the can of cinnamon rolls and separate the dough into 8 rolls. Set the icing aside. Use a sharp knife to cut each roll into 4 pieces. Place 16 pieces in the bottom of the air fryer at a time.
Set your air fryer to 325°F (160°C) and cook the cinnamon roll pieces for 3 minutes. Take your silicone tong and flip over each piece, then cook for an additional 2-3 minutes or until golden brown. Remove the cinnamon roll bites from the air fryer and repeat with the last 16 pieces.
In a large resealable Ziploc storage bag or a shallow bowl, mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon together. Place your warm cinnamon roll bites into the bag, seal it, then shake to coat them with the sugar mixture. If using a bowl, simply roll the air fried cinnamon roll bites until well coated. Serve immediately with dipping icing.
Dipping Icing
In a small mixing bowl, use an electric mixer on medium speed to blend the cream cheese and butter together until you reach a smooth consistency.
Add in the Confectioners' sugar, milk, vanilla extract, and original icing from the cinnamon rolls. Set aside for dipping cinnamon rolls bites.
Notes
1 can of Pillsbury Cinnamon Rolls with Original Icing is equal to a 12.4 oz, or 8-count package. If using the Pillsbury Grands Cinnamon Rolls (a 5-count package), cut your cinnamon rolls into 6 pieces rather than 4.
4 ounces of cream cheese is the equivalent to ½ of an 8-ounce standard package.
Heat the included icing in a short 15-second increment in your microwave to make it easier to pour into the icing mixture.
You do not have to preheat your air fryer for this recipe. A preheated air fryer could overcook the cinnamon roll bites.
To store: You may store any leftover bites in an airtight container at room temperature for 1-2 days.
To freeze: To freeze your cinnamon rolls bites and prepare them ahead of time, you may still cut the 8 rolls into 4 pieces. Place your cinnamon bites into a freezer-safe storage bag and freeze raw before you air fry them. Once you are ready to serve, take the storage bag out of the freezer and let the bites thaw in the fridge. Continue with cooking and dusting them with sugar afterward.
