Picture this: creamy vanilla frozen yogurt, swirled with ribbons of warm, spicy cinnamon-sugar goodness. Can you almost taste it?

🍽 Ingredients

📖 Instructions

  1. First, if you're making your own cinnamon rolls (and I highly recommend it for the best flavor!), prepare them according to your favorite recipe or use store-bought cinnamon rolls. Let them cool slightly so they are warm. If the cinnamon rolls are too hot, the frozen yogurt will melt too quickly when swirled.
  2. Next, cut the warm cinnamon rolls into small, bite-sized pieces. Think roughly 1/2-inch to 1-inch squares.
  3. Get your favorite brand (or homemade!) vanilla frozen yogurt. If the yogurt is solid rock hard out of the freezer, let it sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften slightly. It should be easily scoopable, but not completely melted.
  4. In a large bowl, or individual serving bowls, add a layer of frozen yogurt to the bottom. Aim for about 1/3 of the total amount of frozen yogurt.
  5. Add a layer of chopped cinnamon roll pieces on top of the frozen yogurt. Use about half of the cinnamon roll pieces.
  6. Drop dollops of cinnamon roll filling onto the cinnamon rolls in the bowl. If you made the cinnamon rolls from scratch, use the leftover filling. It gives it that little extra somethin-somethin’.
  7. Add another layer of frozen yogurt, using about half of what’s left. If you’re making it in individual bowls, be sure to repeat the steps to make a second layer.
  8. Repeat with the remaining cinnamon roll pieces and dollops of cinnamon roll filling.
  9. Top with the remaining frozen yogurt. Swirl the top layer of frozen yogurt with a spoon or knife to create a pretty marbled effect. Don’t over-swirl, or it will all blend together!
  10. For an extra touch, sprinkle a little extra cinnamon sugar on top, or drizzle a bit of melted butter.
  11. If you want a firmer texture, cover the bowl and freeze for about 30 minutes before serving. I know, it’s hard to wait, but trust me, it’s worth it!
  12. Serve immediately and enjoy every spoonful of this dreamy Cinnamon Roll Frozen Yogurt Swirl! Feel free to experiment with other toppings like chopped pecans, caramel sauce, or even a sprinkle of sea salt to enhance the flavors.

📝 Notes

  • Adjust the amount of cinnamon rolls to your liking.
