Scale
Ingredients
- 2 (17.5-ounce) cans refrigerated cinnamon rolls (with icing)
- 1/2 cup whipping cream
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the Slow Cooker: Spray the bottom of the slow cooker generously with cooking spray or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Add Whipping Cream: Pour in the whipping cream, ensuring the entire bottom of the slow cooker is evenly covered.
- Prepare the Cinnamon Roll Mixture: Remove the cinnamon rolls from their cans and set the icing aside for later. Cut each cinnamon roll into 4 pieces and place them in a medium-size bowl. Add the melted butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon to the bowl. Mix gently until the pieces are well coated and combined.
- Combine in Slow Cooker: Pour the cinnamon roll mixture evenly over the whipping cream in the slow cooker.
- Manage Condensation: Place a clean dish rag or paper towels underneath the slow cooker lid to catch any condensation during cooking.
- Cook the Casserole: Cover and cook on HIGH for 2 to 3 hours or LOW for 4 to 6 hours, until the casserole is bubbly and the cinnamon roll pieces are cooked through.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the casserole to cool slightly before drizzling the reserved icing over the top. Serve warm and enjoy.
Notes
- Using the dish rag or paper towel under the lid helps prevent excess moisture from dripping back onto the casserole, keeping it from becoming soggy.
- You can substitute maple syrup with honey or brown sugar if desired.
- For a thicker casserole, use less whipping cream or cook it uncovered during the last 30 minutes to reduce excess liquid.
- Ensure you use refrigerated cinnamon rolls that come with icing for the best authentic flavor and texture.
- Slow cooker cook times may vary; begin checking at the minimum time to avoid overcooking.
