Print Recipe

This overnight cinnamon roll casserole is a game-changer for lazy weekends and holiday mornings. With a rich custard that soaks into the rolls, it’s like a warm, gooey bread pudding that fills your home with the scent of a bakery.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cans (12.4 oz each) refrigerated cinnamon rolls with cream cheese icing (e.g., Pillsbury Grands!)
  • 4 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. Open both cans of cinnamon rolls. Set the icing packets aside in the fridge. Cut each cinnamon roll into 4 equal pieces using a sharp knife or pizza cutter.
  3. Scatter the cut cinnamon roll pieces evenly in the prepared baking dish.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, whole milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt until smooth and slightly frothy.
  5. Slowly pour the custard mixture evenly over the cinnamon roll pieces. Gently press down with a spatula to ensure all pieces are soaked.
  6. Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and refrigerate for at least 8 hours, up to 12 hours.
  7. The next morning, preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Remove the casserole from the fridge while the oven heats. Remove plastic wrap.
  8. Bake for 30-35 minutes, until the top is golden brown and the center is set (a knife inserted near the center should come out clean).
  9. Let the casserole cool for about 5 minutes. Drizzle the reserved icing packets over the top while still warm.
  10. Serve warm.

Notes

For best results, use Pillsbury Grands! cinnamon rolls. Do not over-soak beyond 12 hours. Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes after baking to allow the custard to set. Grease the dish well to prevent sticking.
