Equipment
Ingredients
For the Cinnamon Roll Casserole
- 2 - 17.5 ounce cinnamon rolls I used Pillsbury grands
- 4 eggs
- ⅔ cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- ¼ cup brown sugar
For the Icing:
- the icing that was included with the cinnamon rolls
- 3 Tablespoons cream cheese at room temperature
- ½ teaspoon vanilla
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350° F. Open cinnamon rolls and place the icing to the side to use later.
- Lightly grease a 9x13 baking dish. Cut cinnamon rolls into the dish. If using Grands size, cut each roll into 6-8 pieces. If using normal sized rolls, cut into 4 pieces. Combine brown sugar and cinnamon together in a bowl. Sprinkle over the cinnamon rolls. See photos above for a visual guide. Beat eggs with a whisk on medium high speed until completely mixed and no egg white clumps remain. Add heavy whipping cream and vanilla and mix until combined. Pour over the cinnamon rolls chunks.
- Bake 30-35 minutes until cooked through. Make icing by beating the cream cheese, making sure no lumps remain. Add the icing packages, vanilla, and powdered sugar and mix until combined. Allow casserole to cool for 5-10 minutes, drizzle with icing and serve warm.

Notes
- This is an easy and flexible recipe that can easily be adapted to personal preferences. See our variations above for some fun ideas with pie filling.
- If using 12 ounce cans of cinnamon rolls, use 3 to get a similar amount. Since those rolls are smaller, cut into fourths instead of sixths.
- You can absolutely just use the icing that comes with the cinnamon roll cans. We think that taking just a couple minutes to mix them with some cream cheese and a little powdered sugar makes a huge difference in flavor.
- It's important to use room temperature cream cheese and to beat it until it's perfectly smooth. Doing those 2 things will ensure you don't have any cream cheese lumps in the icing and that it is perfectly smooth.
- If your casserole starts to look more brown than you want, tent it with some aluminum foil to continue baking.
- It's important to make sure there aren't any clumps of egg white in the egg mixture. Otherwise you'll have some bits of cooked egg white throughout the casserole that are a little unpleasant.
