Tips & Substitutions

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these Cinnamon Yummies ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare them ahead of time. Assemble the rolls and place them in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before baking. Just be sure to let them come to room temperature for about 15 minutes before placing them in the oven for even baking.
What can I use instead of cream cheese?
If you're looking for an alternative to cream cheese, mascarpone cheese works wonderfully for a richer flavor. You can also try using a dairy-free cream cheese if you need a vegan option, though the texture may vary slightly.
How do I know when the Cinnamon Yummies are done baking?
The Cinnamon Yummies are done when they are golden brown and slightly puffed. Keep an eye on them while baking, as ovens can vary. A light touch should indicate a firm texture; if they feel too soft, give them an extra minute or two.
