Description
This Cinnamon Roll Casserole is a delightful twist on traditional cinnamon rolls, transforming them into a warm, custardy breakfast bake that’s easy to prepare. Soft cinnamon roll pieces are soaked in a rich mixture of eggs, milk, and cream, baked until golden and set, then topped with a sweet vanilla icing drizzle.
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 reaches the perfect temperature for baking the casserole evenly.
- Prepare Cinnamon Rolls: Cut the refrigerated cinnamon rolls into cubes and spread them evenly in a greased baking dish to create the base layer.
- Make Egg Mixture: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, and vanilla extract until well combined and smooth.
- Combine and Bake: Pour the egg mixture evenly over the cinnamon roll cubes in the dish, allowing them to soak. Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the casserole is set and golden on top.
- Prepare Icing: While the casserole is baking, mix the powdered sugar with the 2 tablespoons of milk until smooth to create the drizzle.
- Serve: Once baked, remove the casserole from the oven and drizzle the icing evenly over the top. Serve warm for a comforting breakfast treat.
Notes
- Use fresh refrigerated cinnamon rolls for the best texture and flavor.
- Ensure the casserole is fully set before removing from the oven to avoid a runny center.
- You can add nuts or raisins to the casserole before baking for extra texture and flavor.
- If you prefer a thinner icing, add a little more milk until desired consistency is achieved.
- This casserole can be prepared the night before and baked in the morning for convenient meal prep.
