Ingredients

Scale

Cinnamon Rolls

  • 1 can (16.3 oz) refrigerated cinnamon rolls

Sauce and Toppings

  • 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 prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
  2. Cut the Cinnamon Rolls: Open the can of cinnamon rolls and separate them. Cut each roll into quarters for even cooking and gooey texture.
  3. Add Cinnamon Rolls to Crockpot: Place all the cut cinnamon roll pieces evenly into the bottom of the crockpot.
  4. Make the Butter Mixture: In a small bowl, combine melted butter, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon. Stir well to blend the flavors.
  5. Pour Butter Mixture: Evenly pour the butter, sugar, and cinnamon mixture over the cinnamon roll pieces in the crockpot.
  6. Add Heavy Cream: Drizzle the heavy cream over the top to add richness and further enhance gooeyness.
  7. Cook: Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 2 to 2.5 hours, or until the cinnamon rolls are cooked through and the cake is gooey and soft.
  8. Cool Slightly: Remove the lid and allow the cake to cool in the crockpot for a few minutes to thicken slightly and make serving easier.
  9. Prepare the Glaze: In a separate small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth.
  10. Glaze and Serve: Drizzle the prepared glaze over the warm cake before serving. Enjoy it warm for the best gooey experience.
