Cuisine: American
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cans refrigerated cinnamon rolls
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 1/2 cup cream cheese frosting
Instructions
- Prepare your crockpot by lightly greasing the interior with cooking spray or butter to prevent sticking.
- Open the refrigerated cinnamon roll cans and separate each roll. Do not unroll them; keep them in their original circular shape.
- In a small mixing bowl, combine melted butter, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon. Whisk together until the mixture is smooth and well-incorporated.
- Pour half of the butter-sugar mixture into the bottom of the crockpot, creating an even layer that will caramelize the bottom of the rolls.
- Carefully arrange the cinnamon rolls in a single layer inside the crockpot. They may need to be slightly overlapped depending on your crockpot size.
- Drizzle the remaining butter-sugar mixture over the top of the cinnamon rolls, ensuring they are evenly coated.
- Cover the crockpot with its lid and set to cook on LOW heat for 2 hours. Avoid lifting the lid during cooking to maintain consistent temperature.
- After 2 hours, check the rolls for doneness. They should be puffy, golden, and cooked through.
- Turn off the crockpot and carefully remove the cinnamon rolls using a spatula.
- Warm the cream cheese frosting slightly and drizzle generously over the warm cinnamon rolls.
- Serve immediately while warm and enjoy the gooey, caramelized texture.
Tips
- Grease the Crockpot Well: To ensure your cinnamon rolls don’t stick, make sure to generously grease the interior of your crockpot with cooking spray or butter before adding the rolls.
- Keep the Rolls Intact: When separating the cinnamon rolls, leave them in their circular shape. This helps them maintain their fluffy texture while cooking.
- Layering is Key: Pour half of the butter-sugar mixture at the bottom of the crockpot first, then layer the cinnamon rolls, and finish with the remaining mixture on top. This creates a delicious caramelized layer that enhances the flavor.
- Avoid Lifting the Lid: During cooking, resist the temptation to peek inside. Lifting the lid can cause temperature fluctuations and affect the cooking time and texture.
- Check for Doneness: After 2 hours, the rolls should be puffy and golden. If they’re not quite there, you can give them an additional 10-15 minutes, but keep an eye on them!
- Serve Warm: For the best experience, serve the cinnamon rolls warm with a generous drizzle of cream cheese frosting. The warmth will enhance the gooey texture and make them even more delightful!
