A recipe for Amazing Cinnamon Rolls made with Ice Cream (WHAT??)

Back in Action! Hello to my one follower (Julie, that is you!)

This blog has seen a long hiatus: a baby born who is now almost 5, fun times, sad times and I turned 40! It will most likely see another break before long but for now, let me share an amazing recipe with you that will do nothing but fill your belly with deliciousness :)

Allow me to introduce, Okoboji Amazing Cinnamon Rolls
These are so good, a new adjective gets added every time they are made and someday will have a 20 word name - they are that GOOD!

Okoboji Amazing Cinnamon Rolls
1 12 count frozen cinnamon rolls (Rhodes or similar)
1 cup Vanilla Ice Cream
1 stick margarine
3/4 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup white sugar

Place frozen rolls in a greased 9x13 pan. Place remaining ingredients in saucepan and boil. Continue to boil for one minute while stirring constantly, then pour over frozen rolls. Lightly grease/spray foil to keep from sticking and cover the pan. Place in a COLD oven.

In the morning, turn oven to 350 degrees and bake for 30 minutes (this includes the preheat time while the rolls are in the oven!) Remove foil for the last 10 minutes to brown. Remove from the oven and invert on a tray - careful - this part can be messy! Frost with prepared frosting from cinnamon roll package if desired (and I say WHY WOULDN'T YOU DESIRE TO??)
You can also turn off the oven and leave in for a few more minutes if needed
Eat and be amazed by these warm and gooey rolls. A sure hit!
