This Crockpot Gooey Cinnamon Roll Dump Cake is a simple, comforting dessert made by layering cinnamon rolls with a buttery brown sugar mixture, then slow-cooking until irresistibly soft and gooey. Topped with a vanilla glaze, it’s a perfect warm treat for any occasion that requires minimal effort but maximum flavor.

Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • 1 can (16.3 oz) refrigerated cinnamon rolls

Brown Sugar Mixture

  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Topping

  • 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 ensure easy cleanup.
  2. Cut cinnamon rolls: Open the can of cinnamon rolls and separate each roll. Then cut each roll into quarters to create smaller pieces that will cook evenly and get gooey inside.
  3. Layer cinnamon rolls: Place all the cinnamon roll pieces evenly into the bottom of the crockpot.
  4. Mix brown sugar topping: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon thoroughly. Pour this mixture evenly over the cinnamon roll pieces inside the crockpot to infuse sweetness and spice.
  5. Add heavy cream: Drizzle the heavy cream evenly over the top of the cinnamon roll and brown sugar mixture to add moisture and help create that gooey texture.
  6. Cook: Cover the crockpot with its lid and cook on low heat for 2 to 2.5 hours, or until the cinnamon rolls are fully cooked through and the cake is soft and gooey inside.
  7. Cool slightly: Once cooking is complete, remove the lid and allow the cake to cool for a few minutes in the crockpot to settle.
  8. Make glaze: While cooling, whisk together powdered sugar and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth and combined.
  9. Serve: Drizzle the vanilla glaze over the warm cinnamon roll cake and serve immediately for a deliciously gooey dessert experience.

Notes

  • Refrigerated cinnamon rolls already have leavening agents, so no extra rising time is needed.
  • Cooking times may vary depending on your crockpot’s heat settings; check at 2 hours for doneness.
  • For extra texture, sprinkle chopped nuts such as pecans or walnuts before cooking.
  • Use light butter or a butter substitute to reduce saturated fat content.
  • Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an indulgent treat.
