Makes about 20 to 24 Cinna-Swirls. Store in an air tight container for 2 to 3 days in the refrigerator — because of the cream cheese and heavy cream.
Ingredients
  • 1 package frozen puff pastry (has 2 pieces of dough in 1 box)
  • 1 and a half cup cinnamon baking chips
  • Filling:
  • 1 package (8 ounce) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • Cinnamon Cream Cheese Icing:
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
Instructions
  1. Wrap the 2 rectangle pieces of frozen dough with plastic wrap.
  2. Leave out on counter for about 30 minutes to thaw.
  3. After 30 minutes, unfold both pieces of dough.
  4. Cover again and let it continue to come to room temperature for about 10 more minutes.
  5. While waiting for dough, make the filling.
  6. Filling:
  7. In a mixing bowl, combine 8 ounce softened, cream cheese, 1 tablespoon sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon and 1 teaspoon vanilla.
  8. Stir with a spoon and set aside.
  9. When the dough is at room temperature, take off the top wrap.
  10. Start with a rolling pin to flatten and spread the dough.
  11. Divide the cream cheese filling in half and spread on both pieces of dough.
  12. Sprinkle the cinnamon chips evenly onto the filling.
  13. With the plastic already under the dough, start lifting and roll.
  14. Once both pieces are rolled up, wrap with the 2 pieces of plastic wrap.
  15. Put into the freezer for about 20 to 30 minutes to set up for you to slice easily.
  16. Take out of freezer and unwrap.
  17. Slice the roll with a knife about 1 and a 1/2 inches apart.
  18. Place onto a baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper 2 inches apart. Put into a preheated oven at 375 degrees.
  19. Bake for 17 to 19 minutes.
  20. Cinnamon Cream Cheese Icing:
  21. In a large bowl, mix 4 ounces (half a package) of softened cream cheese, 1 cup of powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon and 1 teaspoon vanilla.
  22. Add a half a cup of heavy whipping cream and continue whipping until creamy.
  23. Fill a pastry bag (or small baggie with the corner bottom tip, snipped with scissors.)
  24. Pipe out and drizzle onto the tops of the pastry filled cinnamon swirls.
