1 can of refrigerated biscuit dough any brand of biscuit dough will work, but the ones that come in a pop-open can are perfect for this recipe
1/2 cup of cinnamon sugar this will give your delights that irresistible cinnamon flavor
1/4 cup of melted butter this helps coat the dough and gives it that golden, crispy exterior

1/2 cup of cream cheese softened (this creates the rich, creamy base for the frosting)
1/4 cup of powdered sugar for that sweet, smooth texture
1 tsp of vanilla extract adds a lovely depth of flavor
1-2 tbsp of milk to adjust the consistency of the frosting, depending on how thick you like it

Extra cinnamon sugar if you want to coat the delights with an extra sprinkle of sweetness
Chopped nuts or sprinkles optional, but they add a fun texture and extra flavor

Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures that your delights bake evenly and become perfectly golden and crispy on the outside while staying soft and warm on the inside.

Open the can of biscuit dough and separate the biscuits. Depending on the brand, you should get about 8 biscuits. Flatten each biscuit gently with your hands to create a little round disc, about 2-3 inches in diameter. If you want to make the delights a bit larger, feel free to stretch the dough out slightly more.

In a shallow bowl, mix together your cinnamon sugar (you can use pre-made cinnamon sugar or make your own by combining 1/4 cup of sugar with 1 tsp of cinnamon). Take each flattened biscuit and coat both sides generously with the cinnamon sugar mixture. This step is key to getting that delicious, cinnamon-sugar crust we love.

Once your biscuits are coated, roll each one into a tight ball, making sure the cinnamon sugar is sealed inside. Then, place each ball of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Be sure to leave a little space between each one, as they will expand while baking.

Pop the baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the delights are golden brown and puffed up. Keep an eye on them—every oven is a little different, so you’ll want them to look crisp on the outside but still soft and gooey on the inside.

While the delights are baking, it’s time to make the frosting! In a small bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk. Use a hand mixer or whisk to blend everything together until smooth and creamy. If you prefer a thicker frosting, add less milk; for a more drizzly consistency, add a bit more. Taste and adjust if you’d like more sweetness or vanilla flavor.

Once the delights are out of the oven and cooled slightly (about 5 minutes), drizzle the cream cheese frosting over the top of each one. Don’t be shy with the frosting—it’s what makes these delights so irresistible! For an extra touch, you can sprinkle a bit more cinnamon sugar on top for added flavor and texture.

Your Taco Bell Cinnabon Delights are ready to be devoured! Serve them warm for the best experience—whether it’s for breakfast, dessert, or just an indulgent snack. These delights are best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers, they’ll keep for a day or two in an airtight container.
