Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 1 can (16.3 oz) refrigerated cinnamon rolls
Syrup & Sauce
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
Glaze
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the Slow Cooker: Spray the inside of your crockpot with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Cut Cinnamon Rolls: Open the can of cinnamon rolls and separate each roll. Cut each roll into quarters to create smaller pieces for even cooking.
- Place Rolls in Crockpot: Place the cinnamon roll pieces evenly into the bottom of the crockpot.
- Make Butter Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon, mixing thoroughly to create a sweet, spiced sauce.
- Pour Mixture Over Rolls: Evenly pour the butter and sugar mixture over the cinnamon roll pieces in the crockpot, ensuring all pieces are coated.
- Add Heavy Cream: Drizzle the heavy cream over the top to add richness and help create a gooey texture.
- Cook: Cover the crockpot with the lid and cook on low for 2 to 2.5 hours, or until the cinnamon rolls are fully cooked and the cake is gooey and bubbly.
- Cool Slightly: Once cooked, remove the lid and allow the cake to cool for a few minutes to thicken slightly.
- Prepare Glaze: In a separate bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Glaze and Serve: Drizzle the glaze evenly over the warm cake just before serving. Enjoy warm for the best gooey experience.
Notes
- This cake can be customized by adding chopped nuts, raisins, or chocolate chips before cooking for extra flavor and texture.
- For an even gooier dessert, add an extra tablespoon of butter or drizzle caramel sauce on top before serving.
- Leftovers can be stored covered at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerated for up to 5 days; reheat gently in the crockpot or microwave.
- Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an indulgent treat.
- Make ahead by preparing ingredients the night before and refrigerating the crockpot insert, then cook the next day.
