Ingredients
Scale
Casserole
- 2 cans refrigerated cinnamon rolls
- 4 eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Glaze
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tbsp milk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and allow it to fully preheat while you prepare the casserole.
- Prepare the cinnamon rolls: Cut the refrigerated cinnamon rolls into cubes and evenly place them into a greased baking dish, ensuring they are spread out for even cooking.
- Mix the custard: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and combined.
- Combine: Pour the custard mixture evenly over the cubed cinnamon rolls in the baking dish, allowing the custard to soak into the cinnamon rolls.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until the casserole is set and golden on top.
- Make the glaze: While the casserole is baking, whisk together the powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons of milk until smooth to create the glaze.
- Finish: After baking, remove the casserole from the oven and drizzle the glaze evenly over the top before serving.
Notes
- Use refrigerated cinnamon rolls for convenience and consistent flavor.
- Ensure the baking dish is well-greased to prevent sticking.
- Allow the casserole to cool for a few minutes before drizzling the glaze to prevent it from melting too much.
- This dish can be made the night before and baked in the morning for a stress-free brunch.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute milk and heavy cream with almond or oat milk and use a dairy-free cinnamon roll.
