Dulce De Leche Cinnamon Rolls

These dulce de leche cinnamon rolls are so flavorful that no toppings or glazes are needed. You can have these for breakfast, brunch or dessert.

But beware, you can’t eat just one. These are too addicting.. Who doesn’t love the combination of caramel, cinnamon and bread?

I made these with the leftover dough from the Dinner Rolls I made the other day. The dough baked up soft and fluffy. Just unroll each one and lick your fingers. Can’t get enough of these.

I used the same quick proofing method as the dinner rolls so you don’t have t spend hours making them from scratch. If you’re hosting a brunch or a breakfast, you can leave the rolls to proof overnight in the fridge and then bake up when needed.

If you’ve been following my blog for a long time, you’ve noticed that I am addicted to Dulce de Leche. They are available in a can at the supermarket next to the condensed milks.

If you can’t find them in your area, just boil the UNOPENED condensed milk cans for 2 hours. Then let them cool and open the cans. Voila! You have dulce de leche.

This recipe makes much more Dulce De Leche Cinnamon Rolls than what you see in the picture. I did a small batch because I wasn’t sure how they would came out.

You can bake them in a sheet pan or a regular cake mold. Depends if you would like it serve whole in a circle and have your guests pull them off or serve them individually in a big plate.

Now that the Holidays are upon us and celebrations will take place with friends and family. I am sure these Dulce De Leche Cinnamon Rolls will be a hit since they are so delicious, original and best of all, made from scratch.

I hope you can try these delicious Dulce De Leche Cinnamon Rolls at home. If you do, please upload a pic on Instagram and tag me @Livingsweetmoments or use the hashtag #LivingSweet. I promise to repost it.

Recipe Notes

*Milk needs to be at a lukewarm temperature (around 100 Degrees F). If milk is too hot the yeast will die, if milk is cold or at room temp, the yeast will not activate.
**You can also make these by hand but the kneading times will be longer
***You can proof the dough in the refrigerator overnight and bake the next day
