Ingredients
Scale
1 (12.2 ounce) can refrigerated cinnamon roll dough
4 large eggs
1 cup milk
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
For the icing: 1/4 cup powdered sugar, 1-2 tablespoons milk
Instructions
Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
Unroll the cinnamon roll dough and cut each roll into quarters. Place the pieces evenly in the prepared baking dish.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until well combined.
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the cinnamon roll pieces in the baking dish.
Cover the dish and refrigerate overnight, or for at least 4 hours.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the casserole is set and golden brown.
While the casserole is baking, whisk together the powdered sugar and milk in a small bowl until you reach a drizzling consistency for the icing.
Once the casserole is out of the oven, let it cool slightly before drizzling with the icing.
Serve warm.
Notes
For a slow cooker version, prepare as directed, then cook on low for 2-3 hours or on high for 1.5-2 hours.
You can add chopped nuts or chocolate chips to the casserole before baking for extra flavor.
This casserole is a great option for meal planning and can be assembled the night before.
