Ingredients:

  • 2 cans (16 oz / 450g each) refrigerated cinnamon rolls
  • 4 tbsp (56g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2/3 cup (160ml) heavy cream
  • 1 tsp (2g) ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) pure maple syrup
  • 2 tbsp (25g) light brown sugar, packed
  • 1 cup (240ml) icing from the cinnamon roll cans

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch (23x33cm) baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. Unroll the cinnamon rolls and cut each roll into quarters.
  3. Toss the dough pieces in the baking dish with the melted butter until lightly coated, then spread them into an even layer.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, cinnamon, and vanilla extract until the mixture is completely smooth and pale yellow.
  5. Pour the custard evenly over the dough pieces, using a spatula to gently press the dough down so every piece is submerged.
  6. Drizzle the maple syrup over the top and sprinkle evenly with brown sugar.
  7. Bake for 30–35 minutes until the casserole has a puffy rise and a mahogany-colored top with golden-brown edges.
  8. While the casserole bakes, place the included icing in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat on 50% power for 30 seconds until fluid.
  9. Remove the casserole from the oven and immediately drizzle the warmed icing over the hot surface.
