I’m not sure if you are going to love me or hate me after today, but this AMAZING recipe from Gimme Delicious Food is so simple that I just had to share it with you! This icy weather is a great excuse to indulge in some steaming cinnamon rolls fresh out the oven, and this clever rising technique means that you can have them on your plate in under an hour. Plus, they would make the ideal treat for Father’s Day. Or any day really. Like today.

Stephen is convinced that I should add raisins, which I probably WILL do on Father’s Day because technically it is his day (grumble grumble) – but personally, I love them exactly the way they are. I’ll never buy shop-bought again (unless it’s an emergency. Or a Thursday.)

I seriously love baking – except for the whole “waiting” part. I’m far too impatient for instructions such as “allow to cool for ten minutes before incorporating into other ingredients”, and “leave overnight in the fridge to set”. I fully get that baking is supposed to be a relaxing pastime, but I can’t help just wanting to get it done. Plus, I am hopeless at keeping track of things in the oven which almost ALWAYS end up “crispier” than they’re supposed to be.

Cue the sound of angels singing when I discovered the most phenomenal toffee sauce that takes just 5 minutes to prepare on top of the stove. It is ideal for last-minute treats or get-togethers with friends when you don’t want to be chained to the stove while everyone is having a blast on the patio. Plus, it tastes even better the next day when scooping the leftovers out the jar with a spoon. Or so I’ve heard … *cough cough*

This recipe makes approximately 650mls and you can store the leftovers in the fridge. (I have absolutely no idea how long you can keep it – ours never lasts for more than a few days before being devoured!)

To date, I have probably received at least ten marriage proposals from grateful men (and women) who have quite literally licked their dessert bowls after this decadent dessert. They are strangely not AS grateful once they learn the ingredients of what they have just eaten. In this case – ignorance is most definitely bliss!

This is one of my go-to desserts when I need something quick and easy to make – in fact, it is almost fail-proof!
