Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 ounce can cinnamon rolls 8 count
  • 8 ounces vanilla or cream cheese frosting
  • 10 drop neon green food coloring plus 3 drops yellow – optional
  • 8 red heart candy sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Open the can and separate the individual rolls.
  2. Place cinnamon rolls into your air fryer’s basket or rack in a single layer with air space between each one.
  3. Cook on the air fryer setting at 360°F for 8-10 minutes until browned and cooked through.
  4. While baking, tint the frosting with green food coloring by mixing drops until the desired shade is reached.
  5. Remove cinnamon rolls and allow to cool slightly.
  6. Spread the green frosting evenly over the rolls and top each with a red candy heart.

Notes

  • You can also make homemade frosting if you prefer, but I use the canned option since it’s faster The color with just the neon green is still pretty good but I find if you add a few drops of plain yellow it’s more Grinch-like Any red heart-shaped candies or sprinkles you like work fine Even a Christmas blend with hearts in it is a great choice Exact nutritional values will vary based on brand and flavor of ingredients any decorations added and actual quantity consumed so please consider this a guideline only
