Ingredients
Scale
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 (190°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking the casserole.
- Prepare Cinnamon Rolls: Cut the refrigerated cinnamon rolls into cubes and evenly place them into a greased baking dish, creating the base layer for the casserole.
- Make Custard Mixture: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, and vanilla extract until well combined and smooth.
- Combine & Bake: Pour the egg and cream mixture evenly over the cubed cinnamon rolls in the baking dish, allowing the rolls to soak in the custard. Place in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes until the casserole is set and lightly golden on top.
- Prepare Icing: While the casserole bakes, mix together powdered sugar and milk until you achieve a smooth glaze consistency.
- Drizzle Icing: Once the casserole is done baking and slightly cooled, drizzle the prepared icing over the top before serving for a sweet finishing touch.
Notes
- Use refrigerated cinnamon rolls for convenience and consistent texture.
- Adjust the baking time if using a larger or smaller baking dish to ensure the custard is fully set.
- The icing can be made thicker or thinner by adjusting milk quantity according to your preference.
- Serve warm for the best taste and texture.
- Optional: Add chopped nuts or raisins to the casserole before baking for extra texture.
