Equipment

  • 1 – 9x13-inch casserole dish
  • 1 Whisk
  • 1 medium mixing bowl
  • 1 – Sharp knife (for cutting cinnamon rolls)
  • 1 Measuring Cups and Spoons
  • 1 – Spatula or spoon (for mixing custard)

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cans 12.4 oz each – Cinnamon rolls (with icing)
  • 4 large – Eggs
  • 1 cup – Whole milk
  • 1/2 cup – Granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon – Ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon – Vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup – Unsalted butter melted
  • Optional – Cream cheese frosting or powdered sugar for topping

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with butter or non-stick spray.
  • Open the cinnamon rolls and cut each roll into quarters.
    Arrange the cinnamon roll pieces evenly in the prepared casserole dish.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  • Pour the custard mixture evenly over the cinnamon rolls, pressing down gently to ensure the rolls are soaked without becoming overly saturated.
  • Drizzle the melted butter over the top of the casserole.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is set.
  • Let the casserole rest for a few minutes before serving.
    Optionally, drizzle with cream cheese frosting or a powdered sugar glaze for an extra indulgent touch.

Notes

  • Storage: This casserole can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Simply reheat in the microwave or oven for best results.
  • Make Ahead: For a time-saving option, prepare the casserole the night before, cover it with plastic wrap, and refrigerate. Bake in the morning as directed.
  • Gluten-Free Option: For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free cinnamon rolls, ensuring they are of a similar size to standard cinnamon rolls for proper baking.
  • Topping Variations: If you prefer a sweeter topping, use a generous drizzle of cream cheese frosting or a simple glaze made with powdered sugar and milk.
