Ingredients
Scale:
2 (12.4 oz) cans refrigerated cinnamon rolls
4 large eggs
1 cup milk (whole or 2% preferred)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ cup brown sugar
4 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
1 tablespoon milk
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures a perfect bake for your casserole.
Open the cans of cinnamon rolls and cut each roll into quarters. Place them in a greased 9x13-inch baking dish. Overlap them slightly for a beautiful presentation and even cooking.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and brown sugar. Ensure everything is well combined.
Pour the custard mixture evenly over the cinnamon roll pieces in the baking dish. Use a spatula to gently press the pieces down to soak up the liquid.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. The casserole should be p￭ up and golden brown on top. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean.
While the casserole is baking, prepare the cream cheese icing. In a small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Once the casserole is baked, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool for about 5 minutes. Drizzle the prepared cream cheese icing over the warm casserole before serving.
