I love cinnamon rolls. There’s something about that warm, gooey goodness that just makes my taste buds dance with joy. But sometimes, I find myself with a leftover cinnamon roll that needs to be reheated. And let’s face it, no one likes a cold, stale cinnamon roll. So, what’s the best way to reheat a cinnamon roll with icing? In my experience, the microwave is the way to go. It’s quick, easy, and ensures that your cinnamon roll is warm and delicious. So, let’s dive into the steps on how to reheat cinnamon rolls with icing in the microwave.
Gather Your Supplies
Before we get started, make sure you have everything you need. Here’s a quick list of supplies:
– Leftover cinnamon roll with icing
– Microwave-safe plate or container
– Microwave
Time to Reheat
Step 1: Prep your cinnamon roll
Start by taking your leftover cinnamon roll out of the refrigerator or wherever you’ve been storing it. Make sure it’s at room temperature before reheating. This will ensure that the middle of the roll gets warm without overheating the edges.
Step 2: Remove the icing
If your cinnamon roll came with icing on top, you’ll want to remove it before reheating. The icing can melt and become a mess in the microwave. Don’t worry; we’ll put it back on later!
Step 3: Cut the cinnamon roll
Using a sharp knife, carefully cut your cinnamon roll into smaller pieces. This will help ensure that it heats evenly in the microwave. I usually cut mine into fourths, but you can adjust the size based on the size of your cinnamon roll.
Step 4: Arrange the pieces
Now, it’s time to place your cinnamon roll pieces on a microwave-safe plate or container. Make sure not to overcrowd the plate, as you want all the pieces to have room to heat evenly.
Step 5: Cover and heat
Cover your plate or container with a microwave-safe cover or microwave-safe plastic wrap. This will help trap the heat and moisture, ensuring that your cinnamon roll doesn’t dry out while reheating.
Step 6: Reheat in short bursts
Microwaves can vary in power, so it’s essential to reheat your cinnamon roll in short bursts. Start by heating it for 20 seconds at a time. Check the temperature of your cinnamon roll after each burst to see if it’s warm enough. Repeat this process until your cinnamon roll is warm throughout.
Adding the Icing
Now that your cinnamon roll is nice and warm, it’s time to add the icing back on top. Take the icing that you set aside earlier and drizzle it over your reheated cinnamon roll pieces. Make sure to distribute it evenly for maximum deliciousness.
Enjoy!
And there you have it – a warm, gooey cinnamon roll with icing in no time. Grab a fork, find a cozy spot, and savor every bite. Whether it’s breakfast, dessert, or a midnight snack, reheating your cinnamon roll in the microwave is a quick and easy way to enjoy that delightful cinnamon-y goodness.
