Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cans (12.4 oz each) refrigerated cinnamon rolls with icing
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 4 large eggs
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup maple syrup
  • ½ cup chopped pecans (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
  • Prepare Cinnamon Rolls: Open the cans of cinnamon rolls and set aside the icing packets. Cut each cinnamon roll into quarters and spread half of them evenly in the prepared baking dish.
  • Prepare Custard Mixture: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, cinnamon, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  • Assemble Casserole: Pour the custard mixture over the cinnamon roll pieces in the baking dish. Add the remaining cinnamon roll quarters on top. Drizzle the maple syrup over the entire dish. If using, sprinkle chopped pecans on top.
  • Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the casserole is golden brown and set.
  • Add Icing: Remove from the oven and let it cool for about 5 minutes. Warm the reserved icing packets in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds to make them easier to drizzle. Drizzle the icing over the casserole.
  • Serve: Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

  • For added flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of nutmeg or a handful of raisins before baking.
  • This casserole can be prepared the night before. Assemble the dish, cover, and refrigerate overnight. In the morning, bake as directed.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven before serving.
