• If you prefer a gooey filling, drizzle a simple glaze made with powdered sugar and milk over the rolls while they are still warm.

Serving advice

Serve the Ginger Cinnamon Rolls warm for the ultimate indulgence. They are delicious on their own, but you can also serve them with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat.

Arrange the Ginger Cinnamon Rolls on a platter or a cake stand, allowing their golden-brown tops to be visible. Dust them with powdered sugar for an elegant touch, or drizzle a glaze over them for a more decadent presentation.
