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
- Prepare the Crockpot: Spray the inside of your crockpot with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- 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.
- Place Rolls in Crockpot: Arrange the cinnamon roll pieces evenly in the bottom of the crockpot as your base layer.
- 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.
- Add Cream: Drizzle the heavy cream over the cinnamon rolls and sauce mixture, enhancing moisture and gooeyness.
- 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.
- 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.
- Prepare Glaze: In a separate small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth to create a sweet, creamy glaze.
- 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.
