Ingredients

Scale

Cinnamon Rolls

  • 1 can (16.3 oz) refrigerated cinnamon rolls

Sauce Mixture

  • 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

  1. Prepare the Crockpot: Spray the inside of your crockpot with non-stick cooking spray to ensure the cinnamon rolls do not stick during cooking.
  2. Cut Cinnamon Rolls: Open the can of cinnamon rolls and separate each roll. Cut each roll into quarters to create bite-sized pieces.
  3. Layer in Crockpot: Place the cinnamon roll pieces evenly into the sprayed crockpot to form the base of the cake.
  4. Mix Sauce: In a small bowl, combine melted butter, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon until well mixed. Pour this evenly over the cinnamon roll pieces inside the crockpot.
  5. Add Heavy Cream: Drizzle the heavy cream over the butter and sugar mixture to add moisture and richness to the cake.
  6. Slow Cook: Cover the crockpot and cook on low heat for 2 to 2.5 hours until the cinnamon rolls are fully cooked and the cake is gooey.
  7. Cool Slightly: Remove the lid and allow the cake to cool for a few minutes to let the flavors set and make it easier to serve.
  8. Prepare Glaze: In a separate small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth.
  9. Serve: Drizzle the vanilla glaze over the warm cake before serving. Enjoy this warm, gooey dessert!

Notes

  • For extra gooeyness, add an additional tablespoon of butter before cooking.
  • You can customize the cake with chopped nuts, raisins, or chocolate chips for added texture and flavor.
  • Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for a decadent treat.
  • Leftovers can be stored covered at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerated for up to 5 days.
  • Reheat leftovers in the crockpot on low for a few minutes or microwave individual portions for 20-30 seconds.
  • This recipe can be prepared ahead by assembling the ingredients in the crockpot insert and cooking the next day.
