Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf (16 oz) Frozen bread dough
- 1 cup Butter pecan ice cream (or any creamy variety)
- 1 cup Brown sugar
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Chopped pecans (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
Instructions
Thaw the frozen bread dough according to the package instructions until it is soft and pliable, then set aside.
In a medium saucepan, combine the ice cream, brown sugar, and unsalted butter over medium heat. Stir frequently until the mixture is fully melted and combined into a smooth caramel-like sauce. Remove from heat and set aside.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or round casserole dish.
Roll out the thawed bread dough into a rectangle approximately 12x18 inches. Sprinkle the ground cinnamon evenly over the surface of the dough.
If desired, sprinkle the chopped pecans over the cinnamon layer for added crunch and flavor.
Starting from one long edge, gently roll the dough into a tight log, pinching the seam to seal it. Slice the log into 12 evenly sized rolls using a sharp knife or dental floss.
Pour half of the ice cream caramel sauce into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly along the bottom. Place the sliced rolls into the dish, cut-side up, leaving a little space between each roll.
Pour the remaining caramel sauce over the top of the rolls, ensuring each roll is coated generously.
Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel and allow the rolls to rise in a warm place for 20-30 minutes until slightly puffed.
Bake the sticky buns in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the dish from the oven and allow the buns to cool for 5-10 minutes. Use a spatula to carefully flip each bun over, allowing the caramel on the bottom to cover the tops of the rolls.
Serve warm and enjoy your gooey, caramel-coated Ice Cream Sticky Buns!
