Ingredients
Scale
Cinnamon Roll Base
- 1 can (16.3 oz) refrigerated cinnamon rolls
Butter Cinnamon Sauce
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Cream Drizzle
- 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 make cleanup easier.
- Cut the Cinnamon Rolls: Open the can of cinnamon rolls and separate each roll. Cut each cinnamon roll into quarters to create bite-sized pieces for even cooking.
- Layer the Cinnamon Rolls: Place the quartered cinnamon roll pieces evenly into the crockpot, spreading them out to form the cake base.
- Make the Butter Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon, mixing well to create a sweet, cinnamon-butter sauce.
- Pour Butter Mixture Over Rolls: Drizzle the cinnamon-butter mixture evenly over the cinnamon roll pieces in the crockpot to coat them thoroughly.
- Add Heavy Cream: Drizzle the heavy cream over the top to add moisture and richness, enhancing the gooey texture.
- Cook: Cover the crockpot with its lid and cook on low for 2 to 2.5 hours until the cinnamon rolls are fully cooked and the dessert turns gooey and soft.
- Cool Slightly: Remove the lid and allow the cake to rest and cool for a few minutes to set slightly before glazing.
- Prepare Vanilla Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to create a smooth glaze.
- Glaze and Serve: Drizzle the vanilla glaze over the warm cinnamon roll dump cake just before serving. Enjoy the dessert warm for the best gooey experience.
Notes
- You can add chopped nuts, raisins, or chocolate chips for extra texture and flavor.
- For added gooeyness, drizzle caramel sauce on top or serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
- Make ahead by assembling the ingredients in the crockpot insert the night before and refrigerate; then cook when ready.
- Store leftovers covered at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerated for up to 5 days.
- Reheat leftovers in the crockpot on low or microwave individual servings for 20-30 seconds.
- This recipe is beginner-friendly and requires minimal preparation skills.
