Preparation Details
Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 5 mins
Total Time: 15 mins
Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 1 (12.4 ounce) can refrigerated cinnamon rolls (such as Pillsbury™)
- 1/4 cup white sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 3/4 cup confectioner’s sugar
- 1 tablespoon freshly grated orange peel
- 1 tablespoon orange juice
- icing from the cinnamon roll package
Steps
- Preheat an air fryer to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) according to manufacturer’s instructions. Add sugar and cinnamon to a large resealable plastic bag, and shake to combine.
- Remove the 8 cinnamon rolls from the can, and set icing aside. Cut each roll into 4 equal pieces for a total of 32 bites.
- Line the fryer basket with parchment paper. Place the bites in a single layer in the bottom of the basket, cook for 3 minutes, turn over using tongs, and cook until golden brown, another 2 to 3 minutes. Depending on the brand and size of your air fryer, you may have to cook in batches, and your timing may vary, so watch closely.
- Meanwhile, prepare the dip. Add cream cheese, confectioner’s sugar, orange zest, orange juice, and the packaged icing to a small bowl. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until you reach a dipping consistency, about 1 minute.
- Drop the warm pieces into the sugar-cinnamon mixture, and shake. Transfer to a plate or basket, and serve with the dip.
