    Ingredients

    • cinnamon rolls - any brand will work
    • brown sugar
    • margarine
    • vanilla ice cream - any brand will work

    What is in the topping?

    The recipe for these cinnamon rolls is an easy one. It is only 4 ingredients and one of them is the store bought cinnamon rolls. The topping is made up of ice cream, brown sugar and melted butter. The ingredients are melted together and poured over the uncooked cinnamon rolls.

    It is almost like Monkey Bread but Monkey Bread doesn't have ice cream in the ingredients. The ice cream adds a great flavor and texture to the cinnamon rolls. This recipe is also much like the classic sticky bun recipe but much easier.

    Tips

    • When you put the ingredients into the pan, you will feel there is no way the cinnamon rolls won't end up floating in liquid. Trust me, I thought that. However, it is okay. The oven will bake the liquid into the rolls and the rolls will rise. It will work.
    • When you pull the rolls from the oven, make sure you turn it out onto a pan right away. Otherwise, the mixture will harden and, well, your rolls may be forever stuck to the pan.
    • These rolls are best served warm, but they are still great later on in the day. Keep leftover cinnamon rolls covered in fridge. Reheat 15 seconds in microwave.

    Ingredients

    • 1 tube cinnamon rolls can use any brand
    • ½ cup margarine
    • ½ cup brown sugar
    • ½ cup vanilla ice cream

    Instructions

    • Melt butter, brown sugar and ice cream in a microwave safe bowl until melted. About 30 seconds.
    • In a greased square 8 or 9 inch pan, separate the cinnamon rolls and set in pan.
    • Pour the melted mixture over top the rolls.
    • Bake at 400* for 17-20 minutes or until rolls are a light golden brown.
    • Remove from oven, turn out onto a cookie sheet or plate immediately.
    • Let cool briefly then serve.

    Notes

    The liquid will absorb into the cinnamon rolls for the most part. It is okay if there is a little left in the pan when done cooking. When you turn the rolls onto a plate, the rest of the liquid will drizzle onto the cinnamon rolls.
