This was a fun dessert.  I actually used a different recipe, but used this one for the cinnamon roll idea.  I didn't really like the ice cream fried (or maybe I didn't do it right).  I think next time I would do it this way.  Plus less calories due to no oil.  Then I won't feel so bad having a cinnamon roll too :-)  The caramel cinnamon rolls were on sale.  Spread just a little of that frosting on top of the waffle.
But I really liked the topping here is the recipe I used:

5 cups corn flakes, crushed (had lots left - 3 should work)

1 cup flaked coconut

1 tablespoon cinnamon

1 quart of vanilla ice cream
3 cups crushed corn flakes cereal (I crushed them in the food processor)
1 tsp of ground cinnamon
2 tsp of sugar
1 can refrigerated cinnamon rolls (regular, not Grands)
chocolate sauce

Scoop ice cream into 8 – 1/2 cup size rounded balls. Place on baking sheet and freeze until firm, about 1 hour.

In a shallow dish combine crushed corn flakes, cinnamon and sugar. Roll the ice cream balls in the corn flake mixture, covering completely. Repeat as needed.  Freeze ice cream again, until firm (about 3 hours).

When ready to serve make cinnamon roll waffles.

Spray waffle maker with cooking spray. Heat waffle maker.

Separate dough into individual cinnamon rolls. Place up to 4 cinnamon rolls at a time on waffle maker. Close lid of waffle maker; cook 1 to 2 minutes or until light golden brown. 

Place cinnamon roll waffle on plate, top with ice cream and drizzle with chocolate sauce.
