Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 4 cups Cinnamon Rolls (chopped into bite-sized pieces)
  • 2 cups Milk (whole milk for creamier texture)
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream (or substitute with half-and-half)
  • 4 large Eggs (for binding the custard)
  • 3/4 cup Granulated Sugar (or use brown sugar for richness)
  • 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract (pure vanilla preferred)
  • 2 teaspoons Ground Cinnamon (adjust to taste)
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt (balances sweetness)
  • 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 to ensure even distribution and texture.
  3. Make Custard Mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together milk, heavy cream, eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  4. Combine Ingredients: Fold the chopped cinnamon rolls into the custard mixture until they are fully coated, then gently stir in raisins or chopped nuts if using.
  5. Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour the combined mixture into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish and spread evenly to ensure uniform baking.
  6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 40-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool and Drizzle: Allow the bread pudding to cool for 10-15 minutes to set slightly. Drizzle the icing evenly over the top before serving.
  8. Serve: Slice into squares and serve warm for the best comforting experience.

Notes

  • You can substitute heavy cream with half-and-half for a lighter custard.
  • Use brown sugar instead of granulated sugar for a richer, deeper flavor.
  • Add raisins or chopped nuts for added texture, or omit for a simpler version.
  • Ensure the custard mixture is fully whisked to avoid any lumps.
  • Letting the pudding cool slightly before icing allows the drizzle to set without melting away.
