This cinnamon roll casserole captures the classic cinnamon roll flavor and texture in a simple, bake-and-forget dish perfect for brunch or holiday mornings. It features soft, buttery layers soaked in a custard base and topped with a luscious cream cheese glaze.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cans (about 12 ounces each / 340 grams) refrigerated cinnamon rolls with icing included
  • 4 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup (240 ml) whole milk or 2% milk (can substitute almond or oat milk for dairy-free)
  • ⅓ cup (65 grams) packed brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons (28 grams) melted unsalted butter
  • 4 ounces (113 grams) softened cream cheese
  • 1 cup (120 grams) powdered sugar
  • 2–3 tablespoons (30-45 ml) milk or cream for thinning the glaze

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or nonstick spray.
  3. Cut each cinnamon roll into about four pieces using a sharp knife.
  4. Spread the cut cinnamon roll pieces evenly in the greased baking dish.
  5. In a medium bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs, 1 cup milk, ⅓ cup brown sugar, 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 2 tablespoons melted butter until smooth.
  6. Pour the custard mixture evenly over the cinnamon roll pieces and press down gently to soak all pieces.
  7. Let the casserole sit for about 10 minutes to soak.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes until the custard is set and the top is golden brown.
  9. While baking, prepare the cream cheese glaze by beating together 4 ounces softened cream cheese, 1 cup powdered sugar, and 2-3 tablespoons milk or cream until smooth and drizzle-able.
  10. Remove casserole from oven and let cool for 5-10 minutes.
  11. Drizzle the cream cheese glaze generously over the warm casserole.
  12. Serve warm and enjoy.

Notes

Use room temperature eggs and milk for best custard texture. Let the casserole soak before baking to ensure softness. Tent with foil if browning too fast. For a crisper top, broil briefly but watch carefully. Microwave cream cheese for 10 seconds before mixing glaze for smoothness. Adjust baking time if using different pan sizes.
