Description
A delicious and gooey rhubarb cinnamon roll bake that combines the tartness of rhubarb with sweet cinnamon rolls, topped with a creamy glaze.
Ingredients
- 3 cups chopped fresh rhubarb
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- 2 cans (12.4 oz each) refrigerated cinnamon rolls with icing
- 4 tbsp butter, melted
- ⅓ cup packed brown sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ cup heavy cream
- Reserved icing from the cinnamon roll cans
- 2 tbsp cream cheese, softened
- 1–2 tbsp milk, as needed
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease a 9 × 13-inch baking dish.
- Add the chopped rhubarb, granulated sugar, cornstarch, vanilla, and cinnamon to a bowl. Toss until evenly coated.
- Separate the cinnamon rolls and cut each into 4 pieces. Set the icing packets aside.
- Spread half of the cinnamon roll pieces over the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Spoon the rhubarb mixture evenly over them, then top with the remaining cinnamon roll pieces.
- Mix the melted butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Drizzle this mixture over the cinnamon rolls, then pour the heavy cream evenly around the rolls.
- Cover loosely with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking for 15–20 minutes, or until the cinnamon rolls are golden brown and cooked through and the rhubarb is bubbling.
- In a small bowl, combine the reserved cinnamon-roll icing with the softened cream cheese. Add milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, until smooth and drizzleable.
- Let the bake cool for about 10 minutes, then drizzle generously with the cream-cheese glaze.
- Serve warm while the rhubarb filling is still soft and gooey. It is especially good with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Notes
- If your rhubarb is particularly tart, add another 1–2 tablespoons of sugar to the filling.
- Fresh or frozen rhubarb can be used; if using frozen rhubarb, don’t thaw it first.
