Ingredients

6 large cinnamon rolls, cut into cubes
4 large eggs
2 cups milk
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup raisins or pecans (optional)
Icing from cinnamon rolls for drizzling

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Prepare the Cinnamon Rolls: Cut the cinnamon rolls into bite-sized cubes and place them in the greased baking dish.
Make the Custard: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
Combine: Pour the custard mixture over the cinnamon roll cubes, ensuring all pieces are coated. If using, sprinkle raisins or pecans on top.
Bake: Allow the mixture to sit for about 10 minutes to soak up the custard. Then, bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
Drizzle with Icing: Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool slightly. Drizzle the icing from the cinnamon rolls over the top before serving.
Serve: Cut into squares and serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
