Print Recipe

This cinnamon roll casserole combines the gooey sweetness of cinnamon rolls with a rich custard base, making it the perfect dish for a cozy Thanksgiving morning or any special occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cans of pre-made cinnamon rolls
  • 4 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • Icing (from the cinnamon rolls or homemade with powdered sugar and milk)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
  2. Open the cans of cinnamon rolls and cut each roll into quarters. Spread the pieces evenly in the greased baking dish.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs, 3/4 cup of whole milk, 1/2 cup of heavy cream, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and 1/4 cup of brown sugar until smooth.
  4. Slowly pour the custard mixture over the cinnamon roll pieces, ensuring they’re evenly coated.
  5. Place the casserole in the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the custard is set. Check at the 30-minute mark and cover with foil if the top is browning too quickly.
  6. Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for about 5 minutes. The custard will settle slightly as it cools.
  7. Warm the icing that came with your cinnamon rolls in the microwave for about 10 seconds, then drizzle it generously over the top of the casserole.
  8. Scoop portions onto plates and enjoy warm with your favorite holiday beverage!

Notes

[‘Don’t overbake the casserole to keep it moist and tender.’, ‘Consider lining your baking dish with parchment paper for easy cleanup.’, ‘Warm the icing before drizzling for even coverage.’, ‘Prep the casserole the night before and refrigerate it unbaked for a stress-free morning.’, ‘Add a sprinkle of nutmeg or cardamom to the custard mixture for extra flavor.’]
