Cinnamon Rolls and Base
- 1 can (16.3 oz) refrigerated cinnamon rolls
Topping and Glaze
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Prepare the Crockpot: Spray the inside of your crockpot with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking during cooking.
- Cut the Cinnamon Rolls: Open the can of refrigerated cinnamon rolls and separate each roll. Cut each roll into quarters to create bite-sized pieces.
- Layer Cinnamon Roll Pieces: Place the cut cinnamon roll pieces evenly into the sprayed crockpot base.
- Make the Butter Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon. Mix well until thoroughly combined.
- Pour Butter Mixture Over Rolls: Evenly pour the butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon mixture over the cinnamon roll pieces in the crockpot.
- Add Heavy Cream: Drizzle the heavy cream evenly on top of the cinnamon rolls and butter mixture to add moisture and richness.
- Cook: Cover the crockpot with the lid and cook on low heat for 2 to 2.5 hours, or until the cinnamon rolls are fully cooked through and the dish is golden and gooey.
- Cool Slightly: Once cooked, remove the lid and allow the dump cake to cool for a few minutes to set slightly before glazing.
- Prepare the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and slightly thickened.
- Serve: Drizzle the vanilla glaze over the cinnamon roll dump cake in the crockpot. Serve warm and enjoy the gooey, sweet goodness.
Notes
- Make sure to spray your crockpot well to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Cooking times may vary slightly depending on your crockpot model; check for doneness at 2 hours.
- For extra texture, you can sprinkle chopped nuts or raisins over the cinnamon rolls before cooking.
- This dump cake is best served warm but can be reheated gently in the microwave.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
