A rich and creamy cinnamon roll casserole soaked overnight in a custard mixture and topped with a tangy cream cheese glaze. Perfect for effortless brunches or holiday mornings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 refrigerated cinnamon rolls (about 12 oz / 340 g), store-bought
  • 1 cup heavy cream (240 ml)
  • 1 cup whole milk (240 ml)
  • 4 large eggs, room temperature
  • ½ cup packed brown sugar (100 g)
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened (115 g)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar (120 g)
  • 2–3 tablespoons milk (30–45 ml) for glaze
  • Optional: chopped nuts (pecans or walnuts) for topping
  • Optional: maple syrup for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Unroll or cut the cinnamon rolls into quarters. Arrange evenly in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together heavy cream, whole milk, eggs, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract until smooth and sugar dissolves.
  3. Pour the custard mixture evenly over the cinnamon roll pieces. Press down gently to soak the rolls well.
  4. Cover the baking dish tightly with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
  5. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Remove casserole from fridge and bake uncovered for 40-45 minutes until golden brown and slightly puffed.
  6. While baking, beat softened cream cheese with powdered sugar. Gradually add milk until glaze is smooth and pourable.
  7. After baking, let casserole cool for about 10 minutes, then drizzle cream cheese glaze generously on top before serving.

Notes

Let the casserole soak overnight for best custard-like texture. Tent with foil if browning too fast. Use room temperature eggs to avoid curdling. Rest casserole 5-10 minutes before slicing. Glaze can be made ahead and stored in fridge.
