What do the bloody intestine cinnamon rolls taste like?

While the bloody intestine cinnamon rolls may look gruesome, they are very sweet and tasty, and are a quick start to your day, taking less than 30 minutes to prep and cook, and you only need two ingredients!

What if I don’t have an air fryer?

The bloody intestine cinnamon rolls can be baked in the oven by following the package directions for baking. It is best if you bake the intestines on a cookie sheet so you can transfer them easily to a serving dish.

I want more icing! How can I make more?

If you prefer more icing than the icing that came in the package, you can make your own by mixing 1 cup powdered sugar with 3 teaspoons milk. Make sure to mix it until it is creamy and all the powdered sugar is mixed completely.

These cinnamon rolls are so easy to store!

If you have any leftovers, your bloody intestine cinnamon rolls can be stored for up to 2 days at room temperature on the counter, and up to a week in the refrigerator. Make sure to store them in an airtight container or wrap them tightly with plastic wrap.

Ingredients:

1 can of cinnamon rolls – Some canned cinnamon rolls have stamped rolls and others have rolled buns. Either is fine. If you prefer more icing than the icing that came in the package, you can make your own by mixing 1 cup powdered sugar with 3 teaspoons milk. Make sure to mix it until it is creamy and all the powdered sugar is mixed completely.

If buns are rolled, unravel each bun and stretch it out into a strip. If stamped, use a paring knife to cut through the bun along the stamp to “unravel” the bun. Stretch out into a strip. Note: some canned cinnamon rolls have stamped rolls and others have rolled buns. Either is fine

Spray the air fryer basket with oil and coil each strip to resemble an intestinal path pinching together the ends. The cinnamon roll will expand so the space between the coils is ok. Cook at 300°f for 10 minutes.

While cooking, mix the red food dye into the frosting until a deep rich red color emerges. Depending on the type of dye you will use more or less.

Microwave the frosting for 15-20 seconds to thin out the frosting, this will make the simulated blood better.

Remove the cooked cinnamon roll gently. If you have a basket with a removable tray, remove the tray and slide the roll-off, if not, you can divide the roll into sections and piece it back together on a plate for presentation.
