Ingredients

Scale

Casserole

  • 2 large 17.5 ounce cans refrigerated cinnamon rolls, icing reserved
  • 2 Tablespoons melted butter
  • 4 eggs
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 1 Tablespoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Icing

  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 containers reserved cinnamon roll icing
  • 2 Tablespoons cream cheese, softened
  • 1 Tablespoon milk

Extra Icing (optional)

  • 3/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 3 ounces cream cheese
  • 1 1/2 Tablespoons milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it reaches the proper temperature for baking the casserole.
  2. Prepare Cinnamon Rolls: Remove the cinnamon rolls from their packages and cut each roll into sixths to create bite-sized pieces.
  3. Butter the Pan: Drizzle the 2 tablespoons of melted butter evenly over the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking pan to prevent sticking and add flavor.
  4. Arrange Cinnamon Roll Pieces: Spread the cut cinnamon roll pieces evenly in the buttered baking pan, creating an even layer.
  5. Mix Egg Mixture: In a separate bowl, whisk together the 4 eggs, 1/3 cup milk, 1 tablespoon cinnamon, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until fully combined.
  6. Pour Mixture Over Rolls: Pour the egg mixture evenly over the cinnamon roll pieces in the pan, ensuring all pieces are coated and soaked well.
  7. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set.
  8. Prepare Icing: While the casserole bakes, combine the reserved cinnamon roll icing with 1/2 cup powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons softened cream cheese, and 1 tablespoon milk. Whisk together until smooth and creamy.
  9. Ice the Casserole: Once the casserole is out of the oven and slightly cooled, pour the prepared icing evenly over the top.
  10. Optional Extra Icing: For extra icing, mix 3/4 cup powdered sugar, 3 ounces cream cheese, and 1 1/2 tablespoons milk until smooth and drizzle over the casserole if desired.

Notes

  • You can prepare this casserole the night before by assembling it and refrigerating overnight before baking in the morning.
  • Use a non-stick baking spray if you prefer instead of melted butter to grease the pan.
  • Ensure the center of the casserole is fully set before removing from the oven to avoid underbaked portions.
  • The extra icing can be refrigerated and used as a dip or spread for extra cinnamon rolls or French toast.
  • This recipe is best served warm and fresh but can be reheated covered in the oven at low temperature.
