🍞 Cream Cheese Cinnamon Roll Casserole
🧾 Ingredients
For the casserole:
- 2 cans refrigerated cinnamon rolls (with icing)
- 4 large eggs
- ½ cup milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ cup maple syrup or brown sugar
- 2 tbsp melted butter
Cream cheese filling:
- 8 oz cream cheese (softened)

👩🍳 Instructions
- Preheat oven
Set to 350°F (175°C). Grease a baking dish (8×8 or 9×9). - Prepare cinnamon rolls
Cut each roll into quarters. Spread half evenly in the baking dish. - Make cream cheese layer
Beat cream cheese, sugar, egg, and vanilla until smooth.
Spread over the first layer of cinnamon rolls. - Add remaining rolls
Place the rest of the cut cinnamon rolls on top. - Make custard mixture
Whisk eggs, milk, vanilla, cinnamon, maple syrup, and melted butter. - Pour & soak
Pour evenly over the casserole. Press lightly so bread absorbs liquid. - Bake
Bake 30–35 minutes, until golden and set in the center. - Glaze & serve
Warm the icing, drizzle over the top (like in the picture), and serve warm.
✨ Tips
- Let it rest 5–10 minutes after baking so it sets slightly.
- Add chopped pecans or walnuts for crunch.
- For extra gooey texture, drizzle sweetened condensed milk on top before serving
