Description
Crockpot Cinnamon Roll Casserole is a warm and comforting dessert made with soft cinnamon roll pieces slow-cooked in a creamy custard mixture and finished with sweet cream cheese frosting.
Ingredients
- 2 tubes refrigerated cinnamon rolls (5 rolls per tube), cut into quarters
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 package cream cheese frosting (included with the cinnamon rolls or about 1/2 cup)
Instructions
- Lightly grease the inside of a slow cooker with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
- Open the tubes of refrigerated cinnamon rolls and set aside the frosting packets for later. Cut each cinnamon roll into four equal pieces.
- Place the cinnamon roll pieces evenly in the bottom of the crockpot.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, brown sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and nutmeg until smooth.
- Pour the custard mixture evenly over the cinnamon roll pieces in the slow cooker.
- Gently press or stir the cinnamon roll pieces slightly so they absorb the liquid mixture.
- Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 2 to 2½ hours, or until the casserole is set in the center and the cinnamon rolls are cooked through.
- Warm the cream cheese frosting in the microwave for 10–15 seconds until it becomes easy to drizzle.
- Drizzle the frosting evenly over the warm casserole.
- Serve warm and enjoy.
Notes
- Use a 4–6 quart slow cooker for best results.
- Check the casserole near the end of cooking to avoid overcooking.
- Add chopped pecans or walnuts for extra texture.
- Diced apples or raisins can be added for additional flavor variations.
- Serve warm for the best gooey texture and flavor.
