Description
This decadent Cinnamon Roll Casserole is a delightful twist on classic cinnamon rolls, baked into a soft, custardy breakfast casserole. Cubed refrigerated cinnamon rolls are soaked in a rich egg, milk, and heavy cream mixture, baked to golden perfection, and topped with a sweet powdered sugar glaze for an irresistible morning treat.
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 properly heated by the time the casserole is assembled.
- Prepare Cinnamon Rolls: Cut the refrigerated cinnamon rolls into bite-sized cubes and evenly spread them into a greased baking dish to prevent sticking.
- Mix Custard: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined to create a rich custard base for the casserole.
- Combine and Soak: Pour the egg and cream mixture evenly over the cubed cinnamon rolls, pressing them down gently so they soak up the custard mixture thoroughly.
- Bake: Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the custard is set and the top is lightly golden brown.
- Prepare Icing: While the casserole bakes, mix the powdered sugar with 2 tablespoons of milk until smooth to create the icing.
- Drizzle Icing: Remove the casserole from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before drizzling the prepared icing generously over the top.
Notes
- Use cans of cinnamon rolls with icing included for extra sweetness if desired.
- Allow casserole to rest for a few minutes after baking to set fully before serving.
- For a dairy-free option, substitute milk and cream with plant-based alternatives.
- This casserole can be prepared the night before by assembling but baking fresh in the morning.
- Serve warm for the best flavor and texture experience.
