Ingredients
Scale
- For the Casserole Base:
- 2 cans (12.4 oz each) refrigerated cinnamon rolls (with icing included)
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup heavy cream (or whole milk)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Optional Add-ins:
- 1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
- 1/2 cup diced apples or raisins
- Drizzle of caramel or maple syrup for extra sweetness
- For the Glaze:
- Icing from the cinnamon roll cans
- Optional: extra powdered sugar and milk for a thicker drizzle
Instructions
- Prep the Crockpot: Spray the inside of your slow cooker with nonstick spray to prevent sticking.
- Cut the Cinnamon Rolls: Open the cans and cut each roll into quarters. Set the icing aside for later.
- Make the Custard Mixture: In a bowl, whisk together eggs, cream, melted butter, vanilla, and cinnamon until smooth.
- Layer the Ingredients: Add half the cinnamon roll pieces to the crockpot and pour half of the egg mixture over them. Repeat with remaining rolls and custard.
- Cook: Cover and cook on Low for 2–2.5 hours or until the center is set but still gooey.
- Glaze and Serve: Drizzle the reserved icing (and any extra glaze) over the warm casserole before serving.
Notes
- Don’t overcook — once set, turn off heat to keep it soft and gooey.
- Avoid lifting the lid during cooking; steam ensures even texture.
- Use parchment or a liner for easier cleanup.
- Warm the icing slightly before drizzling for smooth spreading.
- For an overnight version, assemble and refrigerate, then cook on low in the morning.
