Tips & Variations

• Add chopped nuts, raisins, or chocolate chips to the cinnamon roll pieces before cooking for extra texture and flavor.
• For more gooeyness, drizzle caramel sauce over the cake before serving or add an extra tablespoon of melted butter to the sugar mixture.
• Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an indulgent contrast.
• Make the dessert ahead by assembling it in the crockpot insert the night before; then cook it the next day.

Storage

Cover the cake with a lid or plastic wrap and store at room temperature for up to two days. For longer storage, refrigerate for up to five days. Reheat leftovers in the crockpot on low for a few minutes or microwave individual portions for 20-30 seconds to restore gooeyness.

FAQs

Can I use homemade cinnamon rolls instead of refrigerated ones?

Yes, you can use homemade cinnamon rolls cut into pieces. Just make sure they are raw dough and not fully baked, so they cook properly in the crockpot.

What if I don’t have heavy cream?

You can substitute heavy cream with whole milk or half-and-half, though the texture might be slightly less rich and creamy.
