Ingredients
1 tube refrigerated cinnamon rolls (with icing)
2 large eggs
1/3 cup whole milk
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons brown sugar
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×9 or 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. Cut each cinnamon roll into quarters and place them evenly in the prepared dish.
3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, vanilla, cinnamon, and brown sugar.
4. Pour the custard mixture evenly over the cinnamon rolls.
5. Let the dish rest for 10 minutes so the rolls can absorb the custard.
6. Bake uncovered for 25–30 minutes, or until the top is golden and the center is set.
7. Let it cool slightly, then drizzle the warmed icing packet over the top.
8. Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
Let the casserole rest after pouring the custard to help the rolls soak up all that flavor.
Don’t overbake—check the center at 25 minutes to avoid drying it out.
For extra texture, sprinkle in chopped pecans or diced apples before baking.
