Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 4 cups Cinnamon Rolls, chopped into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 cups Whole Milk
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream (or substitute with half-and-half)
  • 4 large Eggs
  • 3/4 cup Granulated Sugar (or brown sugar for richness)
  • 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract (pure vanilla preferred)
  • 2 teaspoons Ground Cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 cup Raisins or Chopped Nuts (optional for extra texture)
  • 1 cup Icing (for drizzling before serving)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the bread pudding.
  2. Prepare Cinnamon Rolls: Cut the cinnamon rolls into bite-sized pieces and set aside for mixing.
  3. Make Custard Mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together the milk, heavy cream, eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
  4. Combine Ingredients: Fold the chopped cinnamon rolls into the custard mixture until they are thoroughly coated.
  5. Add Optional Mix-ins: If using, gently stir in raisins or chopped nuts for added texture and flavor.
  6. Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour the mixture into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish and spread it evenly to ensure uniform baking.
  7. Bake: Place in the preheated oven and bake for 40-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Cool: Remove from the oven and let the bread pudding cool for 10-15 minutes to set.
  9. Drizzle with Icing: Drizzle the prepared icing evenly over the warm bread pudding for a sweet finishing touch.
  10. Serve: Slice into squares and serve warm to enjoy the best creamy and cinnamon flavor.

Notes

  • You can substitute half-and-half for the heavy cream if you prefer a lighter custard.
  • For extra richness, use brown sugar instead of granulated sugar.
  • Optional raisins or nuts add texture, but can be omitted if preferred.
  • Make sure not to overbake; the pudding should be set but still moist.
  • Letting the pudding cool slightly before icing prevents the icing from melting too much.
