Let’s dive into this fun and simple recipe that will bring out the squeals (and smiles) at your Halloween party.
Ingredients
To craft this delightfully grotesque dessert, you’ll need just a few basic ingredients:
- 1 can refrigerated Cinnamon Rolls: The star of the dish, providing the perfect base for our intestine design.
- ¼ cup Heavy Cream: Adds extra richness and makes the cinnamon rolls even softer and gooier.
- Frosting: Use the cream cheese frosting that comes with the cinnamon rolls.
- ¼ cup Strawberry Jam: To give the intestines that bloody, realistic look.
These ingredients are simple, yet when combined in this creative way, they produce a show-stopping Halloween treat.
Creating the Intestines
Now for the fun part—shaping the cinnamon rolls into intestine-like coils! Here’s how you do it:
Unroll the Cinnamon Rolls: The first step is to unroll each cinnamon roll into a long strip of dough. This is what will become the “intestines.” Don’t worry if the rolls don’t uncoil perfectly; the more irregular and wiggly the strips are, the more realistic and creepy your “intestines” will look!
Arrange the Strips in a 9×13 Pan: Once you’ve unrolled all your cinnamon rolls, arrange them in the pan, creating a squiggly, winding pattern that mimics the natural look of intestines. Be creative! The more random and uneven your design, the better. Just make sure to leave small gaps between the rolls to allow room for them to expand while baking.
Add Heavy Cream: This step is where the magic happens. Pour ¼ cup of heavy cream evenly over the top of the cinnamon rolls before baking. This not only adds richness but also helps keep the rolls extra soft and gooey—perfect for a dessert that’s both gross and delicious!
Bake & Glaze
With your intestines prepped, it’s time to bring them to life (or death?) in the oven.
Bake to Perfection: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the cinnamon rolls for about 20 minutes, or until they’re golden brown. Keep an eye on them as they bake, ensuring they don’t over-bake—remember, we want these intestines to be soft and ooey-gooey!
Make the “Bloody” Frosting: While the rolls are baking, whip up the “bloody” glaze. Simply mix the cream cheese frosting that came with the cinnamon rolls with ¼ cup strawberry jam. The jam adds a bright red color that resembles blood, making these intestines as gory as possible. You can adjust the jam amount if you want a thicker or more blood-like consistency.
Frost and Serve: Once your cinnamon roll intestines are golden and baked to perfection, remove them from the oven. While they’re still warm, drizzle the “bloody” glaze over the top, letting it drip and pool in the crevices of the rolls. The result is a disturbingly realistic, but incredibly tasty, tray of Bloody Edible Intestines!

- Get creative with the design: The messier and more tangled the “intestines” look, the better! There’s no right or wrong way to arrange them in the pan, so have fun with it.
