Ingredients

Scale

Cinnamon Roll Base

  • 2 cans refrigerated cinnamon rolls

Custard Mixture

  • 4 eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Glaze

  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the casserole.
  2. Prepare the Cinnamon Rolls: Cut each refrigerated cinnamon roll into cubes and evenly distribute them in a greased baking dish to ensure they don’t stick during baking.
  3. Make the Custard Mixture: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, and vanilla extract until fully combined and smooth.
  4. Combine and Soak: Pour the custard mixture evenly over the cinnamon roll cubes in the baking dish, making sure all pieces are well coated and start to soak up the liquid.
  5. Bake the Casserole: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes until the casserole is set in the center and lightly golden on top.
  6. Prepare the Glaze: While the casserole is baking, mix the powdered sugar with 2 tablespoons of milk in a small bowl until smooth to create the icing glaze.
  7. Finish and Serve: After baking, allow the casserole to cool for a few minutes, then drizzle the glaze evenly over the top before serving warm.

Notes

  • Use refrigerated cinnamon rolls straight from the can for convenience and classic flavor.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute milk and heavy cream with almond or oat milk.
  • Make sure to grease the baking dish well to prevent sticking.
  • Let the casserole cool slightly before drizzling the glaze to prevent it from melting too much.
  • Optional: Add chopped nuts or raisins to the cinnamon roll cubes for extra texture.
