Ingredients
Scale
Cinnamon Roll Base
- 2 cans refrigerated cinnamon rolls
Custard Mixture
- 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 the Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for baking the casserole evenly.
- Prepare Cinnamon Rolls: Remove the cinnamon rolls from their cans and cut them into bite-sized cubes. Place these cubes evenly into a greased baking dish to prevent sticking and ensure easy serving.
- Mix the Custard: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, and vanilla extract until fully combined and smooth to create a rich custard mixture.
- Combine and Soak: Pour the egg custard mixture over the cinnamon roll cubes in the baking dish, making sure all cubes get coated. This will help the rolls soak up the custard, resulting in a soft and flavorful casserole.
- Bake the Casserole: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until the custard is fully set and the casserole is lightly golden on top.
- Prepare the Icing: While the casserole bakes, mix the powdered sugar and milk in a small bowl until smooth. This will be used as a sweet glaze.
- Drizzle and Serve: After removing the casserole from the oven, let it cool slightly before drizzling the icing evenly over the top. Serve warm for the best taste.
