  • Total Time: 55 to 60 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Bread Pudding

  • 6 large cinnamon rolls (day-old preferred), cut into chunks
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 3/4 cups whole milk
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg (optional)
  • Pinch of salt

For the Glaze

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2-3 tbsp milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
 

Instructions

  1. Prep the Dish
    Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8 or 9×13 baking dish depending on desired thickness.

  2. Layer the Cinnamon Roll Pieces
    Place cinnamon roll chunks evenly in the prepared baking dish.

  3. Make the Custard
    In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, heavy cream, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until smooth.

  4. Soak the Rolls
    Pour the custard mixture evenly over the cinnamon rolls. Gently press down so the rolls absorb the liquid.

  5. Bake
    Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden.

  6. Make the Glaze
    Whisk powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth.

  7. Serve
    Drizzle warm glaze over the bread pudding. Serve warm, optionally with whipped cream or ice cream.

Notes

Cooking Tips

  • Day-old rolls work best: Slightly stale cinnamon rolls soak up custard better without getting mushy.

  • Don’t overbake: Remove when the center is just set—overbaking results in a dry texture.

  • Use leftover icing: If your cinnamon rolls came with icing, warm it up and drizzle it on top for extra flavor.

  • Add mix-ins: Raisins, pecans, walnuts, or chocolate chips add tremendous flavor and texture.

🔄 Variations

 

  • Apple Cinnamon Roll Bread Pudding: Add 1–2 cups of diced apples (fresh or sautéed).

  • Maple Pecan Version: Substitute maple syrup for half the sugar and add chopped pecans.

  • Cream Cheese Swirl: Add spoonfuls of sweetened cream cheese throughout the dish before baking.

  • Caramel Drizzle: Replace the glaze with warm caramel sauce for a richer finish.
