Ingredients
  • 6 Cinnamon Rolls (store-bought or homemade)
  • 6 Eggs
  • 2 cups Milk
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream
  • 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 2 tablespoons Butter (melted)
  • As Needed Icing from Cinnamon Rolls

Prepare the Cinnamon Rolls

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish. Cut the cinnamon rolls into bite-sized pieces and spread them evenly in the prepared baking dish. If your cinnamon rolls didn't come with icing, set aside the amount of icing that you want to use later to drizzle.

Make the Custard

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.

Assemble the Bread Pudding

Pour the custard mixture evenly over the cinnamon roll pieces in the baking dish. Gently press down on the cinnamon rolls to ensure they are soaked in the custard. Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the top.

Bake

Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the bread pudding is set and golden brown on top. A knife inserted into the center should come out clean.

Cool and Serve

Let the bread pudding cool slightly before drizzling with the icing that came with the cinnamon rolls. Slice and serve warm. Enjoy!
