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 get it ready for baking the casserole.
Prepare cinnamon rolls: Cut the refrigerated cinnamon rolls into cubes and place them evenly in a greased baking dish, ensuring all pieces fit comfortably.
Make custard mixture: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, and vanilla extract until fully combined and smooth.
Pour mixture: Pour the custard mixture evenly over the cubed cinnamon rolls, allowing them to soak and absorb the liquid.
Bake the casserole: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the casserole is set, puffed, and lightly golden on top.
Prepare icing: While the casserole bakes, mix the powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons of milk in a small bowl until smooth to make the icing.
Drizzle and serve: Once baked, remove the casserole from the oven and drizzle the prepared icing over the warm casserole. Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

For a richer custard, you can substitute the milk with more heavy cream.
Use a 9×13 inch baking dish for best results.
Let the casserole cool slightly before adding icing if you want thicker glaze consistency.
Optional: Add chopped nuts or raisins to the casserole for extra texture and flavor.
Refrigerate leftovers and reheat gently in the microwave.
