Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat an air fryer to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) according to manufacturer’s instructions. (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a large resealable plastic bag, combine granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Shake well to mix. (2 minutes)

03

Step

Remove cinnamon rolls from the can, setting the included icing aside. Cut each roll into 4 equal pieces, creating 32 bite-sized portions. (5 minutes)

04

Step

Line the air fryer basket with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Arrange the cinnamon roll bites in a single layer in the basket, ensuring they aren't overcrowded. (3 minutes)

05

Step

Air fry for 3 minutes, then carefully flip each bite using tongs. Continue cooking until golden brown, approximately 2 to 3 minutes more. Note: Cooking times may vary depending on your air fryer model and batch size, so keep a close watch. (6 minutes)

06

Step

While the bites are air frying, prepare the orange cream cheese dip. In a small bowl, combine softened cream cheese, confectioners' sugar, orange zest, orange juice, and the reserved cinnamon roll icing. (3 minutes)

07

Step

Using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat the ingredients together until smooth, creamy, and well combined, about 1 minute. (1 minute)

08

Step

Immediately after removing the warm cinnamon roll bites from the air fryer, transfer them to the bag with the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Seal the bag and gently shake to coat each piece evenly. (2 minutes)

09

Step

Transfer the coated cinnamon roll bites to a serving plate or basket. Serve warm with the prepared orange cream cheese dip for a truly delightful treat. (1 minute)

For best results, ensure the cream cheese is fully softened to achieve a smooth and lump-free dip.
If you prefer a less intense orange flavor, reduce the amount of orange zest and juice.
Store leftover cinnamon roll bites in an airtight container at room temperature. The dip should be refrigerated.
Feel free to experiment with other citrus flavors like lemon or lime in the dip.
For an extra touch, drizzle melted white chocolate over the cinnamon roll bites before serving.
