Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 1 can (16.3 oz) refrigerated cinnamon rolls
Filling and Topping
- 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 with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking and facilitate easy cleanup.
- Prepare Cinnamon Rolls: Open the can of cinnamon rolls and separate them. Cut each roll into quarters to ensure even cooking and gooey texture throughout.
- Layer Cinnamon Rolls: Place the cinnamon roll pieces evenly into the crockpot as the base layer for the dump cake.
- Mix Butter and Sugar: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, packed brown sugar, and ground cinnamon. Stir well until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
- Add Butter Mixture: Pour the butter and cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the cinnamon roll pieces, allowing it to soak and flavor the dough.
- Drizzle Cream: Pour the heavy cream evenly over the mixture to add moisture and richness to the dessert.
- Cook: Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 2 to 2.5 hours. The cinnamon rolls should be cooked through and the cake should be gooey and tender.
- Cool Slightly: Remove the lid and allow the cake to cool for a few minutes, which helps it set slightly before glazing.
- Prepare 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 over the warm cake and serve immediately to enjoy the best gooey texture and flavor.
Notes
- Ensure the crockpot is well greased to prevent sticking.
- Cooking times may vary slightly depending on your crockpot model.
- For a richer flavor, use unsalted butter and adjust salt to taste if desired.
- The glaze can be adjusted to a thinner consistency by adding a few drops of milk if needed.
- Serve warm for the best gooey experience, leftovers can be reheated gently.
