Ice Cream Cinnamon Rolls are a delicious way to start your day. Easy to make, these rolls can use store bought cinnamon rolls with only a few ingredients added. Gooey and flavorful, enjoy these great rolls!
Ice Cream Cinnamon Rolls were made on a spur of the moment whim. I was walking through Aldi’s when I thought I would buy a tube of cinnamon rolls. I generally make my own homemade cinnamon rolls but I like to buy store bought on occasion because you never know what you can make with them. {We also just eat them. I mean, isn’t the frosting in the little tubes fun?}
We happened to have ice cream in the house because our local store had 1 gallon on sale. As my husband was coming home from a church meeting one night, he saw the store sign. He stopped. We now have a gallon of vanilla sitting in our freezer. Have I ever mentioned he is an ice cream fan? Yes, and a cheesecake fan. Combine the two and he is a happy hubby. :-)
The recipe for ice cream cinnamon rolls is an easy one. It is only 4 ingredients and one of them is the cinnamon rolls.
Yum!
Did I mention the brown sugar, butter, ice cream you pour on top? I thought I didn’t.
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.
Ice Cream Cinnamon Rolls 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. I know because I ate.
