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) ensuring it reaches the right temperature for even baking of the casserole.
Prepare Cinnamon Rolls: Cut the refrigerated cinnamon rolls into cubes and evenly place them in a greased baking dish to create the base of the casserole.
Mix Custard: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, and vanilla extract thoroughly to form a smooth custard mixture.
Combine: Pour the custard mixture evenly over the cinnamon roll cubes in the baking dish, making sure all pieces are soaked well.
Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the custard is set and the top is lightly golden.
Prepare Icing: While the casserole is baking, mix powdered sugar with milk in a small bowl until smooth to create the glaze.
Drizzle Glaze: Once the casserole is baked and slightly cooled, drizzle the powdered sugar icing evenly over the top to finish the dish.

Notes

Use fresh refrigerated cinnamon rolls for best texture and flavor.
You can substitute heavy cream with half-and-half for a lighter version.
Let the casserole cool for 5–10 minutes before serving to allow the custard to set fully.
For extra flavor, sprinkle a little cinnamon or chopped nuts on top before baking.
Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat gently.
