Ingredients

  • 1 can (8 count) Pillsbury™ refrigerated Cinnamon Rolls With Icing
  • 2 large fresh strawberries
  • 4 fresh blueberries

Method

  1. Spray round 4-inch waffle maker with cooking spray; heat waffle maker. Remove cinnamon rolls from can, and separate into 8 rolls; set icing aside.
  2. For each waffle, place 1 cinnamon roll in centre of waffle maker; close lid of waffle maker. Bake about 1 minute or until waffle is thoroughly cooked and golden brown.
  3. Using 3-inch tree-shaped cookie cutter, cut out tree from centre of each of 4 waffles, reserving outer edges from 2 waffles for reindeer antlers. Using 1 1/2-inch star-shaped cookie cutter, cut out 4 stars from 1 waffle; using 1 1/2-inch round cookie cutter, cut out 2 circles from 1 waffle.
  4. Using photo as a guide, assemble 2 complete reindeer using 2 unused whole waffles for the face, reserved waffle edges for antlers, 2 stars beneath antlers and 1 round nose for each reindeer, decorating reindeer and trees with reserved frosting, strawberries and blueberries as desired.

Expert Tips

  • Be sure to spray waffle iron before making each waffle. The sugar from the cinnamon roll can make the waffles stick.
  • For smaller waffle makers, slightly roll out each cinnamon roll into a circle before placing in waffle maker.
  • Be creative with your fruit garnishes; sprinkles also work for decorations. Place icing into a piping bag or resealable bag for decorating, too.
  • Serve with maple syrup and whipped cream.
