Description
This Cinnamon Roll Bread Pudding is a cozy, indulgent treat that brings together soft cinnamon rolls, a creamy custard, and a sweet glaze. Perfect for brunch, holidays, or dessert, it’s a crowd-pleaser that’s easy to prep and even easier to devour.
Ingredients
6 to 8 cinnamon rolls
4 large eggs
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup milk
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup powdered sugar
2 to 3 tablespoons milk (for glaze)
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×9-inch or 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. Cut cinnamon rolls into bite-sized pieces. Arrange them evenly in the dish.
3. In a bowl, whisk together eggs, heavy cream, milk, brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
4. Pour custard over the cinnamon rolls. Press gently to ensure they’re soaked. Let sit for 10–15 minutes.
5. Bake for 35–45 minutes until golden brown and just set in the center. Cover with foil if browning too quickly.
6. For the glaze, mix powdered sugar with milk until smooth. Drizzle over warm pudding and serve.
Notes
Use slightly stale or cooled cinnamon rolls for best custard absorption.
Add-ins like pecans, raisins, or chocolate chips can be folded in before baking.
Let the pudding cool for at least 10 minutes before glazing to avoid melting the icing too quickly.
