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 to ensure it’s at the right temperature for baking the casserole evenly.
- Prepare Cinnamon Rolls: Cut the refrigerated cinnamon rolls into cubes and place them evenly in a greased baking dish, forming the base layer of the casserole.
- Create Custard Mixture: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, and vanilla extract until well combined and smooth.
- Combine and Soak: Pour the egg mixture evenly over the cinnamon roll cubes in the baking dish, ensuring all pieces absorb the custard base.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the casserole is set and the top is lightly golden.
- Make Icing: While the casserole bakes, mix the powdered sugar and milk until smooth to create a sweet glaze.
- Glaze and Serve: Once baked, drizzle the powdered sugar icing over the warm casserole before serving for an extra touch of sweetness.
Notes
- Use a greased baking dish to prevent sticking.
- For a richer flavor, substitute whole milk for the 1/2 cup milk in the custard.
- You can add chopped nuts or raisins to the cinnamon roll cubes for extra texture.
- Allow the casserole to cool slightly before icing to prevent the glaze from melting too much.
- Serve warm with fresh fruit or coffee for a complete breakfast experience.
