Ingredients
Scale
Cinnamon Roll Base
- 1 can (16.3 oz) refrigerated cinnamon rolls
Topping 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
- Prepare the Crockpot: Spray the inside of your crockpot thoroughly with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking during cooking.
- Prepare the Cinnamon Rolls: Open the can of refrigerated cinnamon rolls and separate each roll. Cut each cinnamon roll into quarters to create smaller pieces that will cook evenly in the crockpot.
- Arrange Cinnamon Roll Pieces: Place all the cinnamon roll quarters evenly into the bottom of the crockpot, ensuring they’re spread out but close together.
- Make the Topping Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon, mixing until fully blended to create a sweet cinnamon butter sauce.
- Pour Topping Over Rolls: Evenly drizzle the butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon mixture over the cinnamon roll pieces in the crockpot, coating them well.
- Add Heavy Cream: Drizzle the 1/4 cup of heavy cream over the top to add moisture and enhance the gooeyness of the cake as it cooks.
- Cook the Cake: Cover the crockpot with its lid and cook on the low setting for 2 to 2.5 hours, or until the cinnamon rolls are fully cooked and the cake has a luscious gooey texture.
- Cool Slightly: Once cooked, remove the lid carefully and allow the cake to cool for about 5 minutes to make it easier to handle and for the flavors to set.
- Prepare the Glaze: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and pourable.
- Glaze and Serve: Drizzle the vanilla glaze evenly over the warm cinnamon roll dump cake. Serve immediately while warm and enjoy the soft, gooey, and cinnamon-spiced goodness.
Notes
- Use refrigerated cinnamon rolls with icing removed to apply your own glaze for better control of sweetness and texture.
- Cooking times may vary slightly depending on your crockpot model; check for doneness by ensuring the rolls are cooked through and the mixture is bubbling.
- For an extra indulgent touch, serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
- Leftovers can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and warmed before serving.
- Spraying the crockpot well is important to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
