Main Ingredients

  • 25 oz refrigerated cinnamon roll dough cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter melted
  • 0.5 cup light brown sugar
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 0.25 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 7 oz beaten eggs about 4 large eggs
  • 0.75 cup whole milk
  • 0.25 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 0.125 tsp fine salt
  • 0.5 cup chopped pecans optional
  • 4 oz cream cheese softened
  • 0.75 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tbsp milk for glaze
  • 0.5 tsp vanilla extract for glaze

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Heat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • Cut the cinnamon roll dough into 1-inch pieces and scatter evenly in the dish.
  • Stir together brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Sprinkle the mixture over the dough.
  • Drizzle the melted butter over the sugared dough pieces.
  • Whisk eggs, milk, cream, vanilla, and salt until smooth. Pour evenly over the pan, tapping to settle.
  • Scatter pecans on top, if using.
  • Bake 32–38 minutes, until puffed, golden, and the center is set.
  • Beat cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Mix in milk and vanilla until pourable.
  • Cool casserole 10 minutes. Drizzle with glaze and serve warm.

Notes

Try mixing in 1 cup peeled diced apples or swapping pecans for walnuts. For a make-ahead option, assemble, cover, and refrigerate overnight; bake straight from the fridge, adding 5–10 minutes. Store leftovers covered in the fridge up to 3 days; rewarm gently before serving.
