Crockpot Gooey Cinnamon Roll Dump Cake – Easy Slow Cooker Dessert
Make this easy Crockpot Gooey Cinnamon Roll Dump Cake in your slow cooker! A warm, gooey, and comforting dessert perfect for busy days or holiday brunches.
Ingredients
- 1 can (16.3 oz) refrigerated cinnamon rolls
- ½ cup butter, melted
- ½ cup packed brown sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ cup heavy cream
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
Optional
- ¼ cup chopped pecans or walnuts
- ¼ cup mini chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons caramel sauce for drizzling
Instructions
- Prep the crockpot: Lightly coat the inside of your slow cooker with non-stick spray or line it with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Cut the rolls: Open the cinnamon roll can, separate each roll, and cut into quarters. Place the pieces evenly in the crockpot.
- Make the sauce: In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Pour this buttery mixture evenly over the rolls.
- Add cream: Drizzle the heavy cream over the top — this is what creates that irresistible gooey texture.
- Cook: Cover and cook on low for 2 to 2½ hours or until the rolls are puffed and cooked through. Avoid lifting the lid too often; it traps steam that keeps the dessert moist.
- Finish with glaze: Once done, let it cool for a few minutes. Mix powdered sugar and vanilla extract in a bowl until smooth, then drizzle the glaze over the warm cake.
