Ingredients
Scale
Cinnamon Roll Casserole
- 2 cans refrigerated cinnamon rolls
- 4 eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Icing
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tbsp milk
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F to prepare for baking the casserole.
- Prepare Cinnamon Rolls: Cut the refrigerated cinnamon rolls into cubes and evenly spread them in a greased baking dish, ensuring a uniform layer.
- Mix Custard: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Combine and Bake: Pour the egg mixture evenly over the cinnamon roll cubes in the baking dish, allowing the custard to soak in. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the casserole is set and lightly golden.
- Make Icing: While the casserole bakes, mix the powdered sugar with 2 tablespoons of milk to create a smooth icing.
- Drizzle and Serve: Once baked, remove the casserole from the oven and drizzle the prepared icing over the top. Serve warm for the best flavor.
Notes
- You can substitute heavy cream with half-and-half for a lighter version.
- For extra texture, add chopped nuts such as pecans or walnuts into the casserole before baking.
- Make sure not to over-bake; the casserole should be set but still moist.
- Use room temperature eggs and dairy for a smoother custard mixture.
- This casserole can be prepared the night before and baked fresh in the morning.
