Description

This Cinnamon Roll Casserole is a delightful twist on traditional cinnamon rolls, featuring soft cinnamon roll pieces baked in a creamy egg mixture and topped with a sweet powdered sugar glaze. Perfect for a comforting breakfast or brunch treat that combines the flavors of cinnamon rolls with the ease of a baked casserole.


Ingredients

Scale

Cinnamon Roll Mixture

  • 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

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking the casserole evenly.
  2. Prepare Cinnamon Rolls: Cut the refrigerated cinnamon rolls into bite-sized cubes and place them evenly in a greased baking dish to prevent sticking.
  3. Mix Egg Mixture: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, and vanilla extract until well combined to create the custard base for the casserole.
  4. Combine and Bake: Pour the egg mixture evenly over the cinnamon roll cubes in the baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the casserole is set and lightly golden on top.
  5. Prepare Icing: While the casserole is baking, mix the powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons of milk until smooth to make the glaze.
  6. Glaze and Serve: Once baked, remove the casserole from the oven and drizzle the powdered sugar glaze over the top. Serve warm for the best experience.

Notes

  • Ensure the casserole is set in the center before removing from the oven by inserting a toothpick; it should come out clean.
  • You can substitute heavy cream with all-purpose cream or increase milk if you want a lighter custard.
  • For extra texture, sprinkle chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts before baking.
  • This casserole is best served warm but can be reheated gently in the oven or microwave.
  • Use cream cheese icing instead of powdered sugar glaze for a richer topping variation.
