- 2 cans refrigerated cinnamon rolls cut into quarters (17.5 ounces per can)
- 6 large eggs
- 1 ½ cups whole milk
- ½ cup heavy cream
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Instructions
To Make the Casserole:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with the butter or non-stick spray.
- Cut the cinnamon rolls into quarters, and spread them in an even layer in the prepared dish.2 cans refrigerated cinnamon rolls
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.6 large eggs, 1 ½ cups whole milk, ½ cup heavy cream, ⅓ cup granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon salt
- Pour the custard mixture over the cinnamon roll pieces, and gently press the rolls down with a spatula or spoon.
- Let the casserole sit for 10 to 15 minutes so the liquid can soak into the all the cinnamon rolls' nooks and crannies.
- Cover the dish loosely with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake for another 15 to 20 minutes, or until the casserole is puffy, golden brown, and set in the center. A knife inserted in the center should come out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let the casserole rest for 10 minutes before frosting.
To Make the Frosting:
- In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and butter together until smooth.4 ounces cream cheese, ¼ cup unsalted butter
- Add the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk. Mix until the frosting is creamy and spreadable.1 cup powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 2 tablespoons milk
- Spread the frosting over the warm casserole or drizzle it over the top, depending on your preference. Enjoy!
Notes
- Servings: The calories listed are an approximation based on the ingredients in the recipe card and a serving size of 1 slice of casserole. Actual calories will vary.
- Frosting: I like to make my own cream cheese frosting from scratch, but you could use the frosting from the cans of cinnamon rolls if you'd like.
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. You can also freeze individual slices for up to 2 months.
