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
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking the casserole evenly.
- Prepare Cinnamon Rolls: Cut the refrigerated cinnamon rolls into bite-sized cubes and place them evenly in a greased baking dish to prevent sticking.
- 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.
- 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.
- Prepare Icing: While the casserole is baking, mix the powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons of milk until smooth to make the glaze.
- 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.
