Ingredients

Scale

Cinnamon Roll Base

  • 1 can (16.3 oz) refrigerated cinnamon rolls

Buttery Cinnamon Sauce

  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream

Vanilla Glaze

  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crockpot: Spray the inside of your crockpot with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
  2. Cut Cinnamon Rolls: Open the can of cinnamon rolls, separate each roll, and then cut each roll into quarters to allow even cooking and gooey texture throughout.
  3. Place Rolls in Crockpot: Arrange the cinnamon roll pieces evenly in the bottom of the crockpot as your base layer.
  4. Make Cinnamon Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together melted butter, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon until well combined, then pour this mixture evenly over the cinnamon roll pieces to infuse them with rich sweetness.
  5. Add Cream: Drizzle the heavy cream over the cinnamon rolls and sauce mixture, enhancing moisture and gooeyness.
  6. Cook: Cover the crockpot and cook on low heat for 2 to 2.5 hours, or until the cinnamon rolls are fully cooked through and the cake is wonderfully gooey and tender.
  7. Cool Slightly: Once cooked, carefully remove the lid and allow the cake to cool for a few minutes, which helps set the texture before glazing.
  8. Prepare Glaze: In a separate small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth to create a sweet, creamy glaze.
  9. Finish & Serve: Drizzle the vanilla glaze evenly over the warm cake. Serve immediately for the best gooey experience and enjoy your comforting dessert.

Notes

  • You can prepare the ingredients in advance by assembling everything in the crockpot insert the night before and storing it in the refrigerator.
  • Add chopped nuts, raisins, or chocolate chips to the cinnamon roll pieces before cooking to customize flavors and textures.
  • For even more gooeyness, drizzle extra butter or caramel sauce over the top before serving.
  • Store leftovers covered at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days. Reheat gently in the crockpot or microwave before serving.
  • Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an indulgent treat.
