Ingredients
2 cans refrigerated cinnamon rolls (with icing included)
3 eggs
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup melted butter
Colored sugar (purple, green, and gold for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking dish.
Cut each cinnamon roll into quarters and spread the pieces evenly in the baking dish.
In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, heavy cream, brown sugar, cinnamon, vanilla, and melted butter until smooth.
Pour this mixture evenly over the cinnamon roll pieces, making sure everything is well coated.
Bake for 25–30 minutes until the casserole is puffed, golden, and set in the center.
Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly.
Drizzle the icing that comes with the cinnamon rolls over the top while still warm.
Finish by sprinkling colored sugar to give it that classic King Cake look.
