Description
This Cinnamon Roll Bread Pudding recipe is the ultimate cozy dessert, combining soft cinnamon rolls with a creamy vanilla custard. Perfect for breakfast or dessert, this rich and comforting bread pudding is easy to make and a family favorite in the United States.
Ingredients
3 to 4 cups cinnamon rolls, cut into chunks
4 large eggs
1 ½ cups whole milk
1 cup heavy cream
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ cup brown sugar
¼ teaspoon salt
¾ cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
2 tablespoons milk (for glaze)
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish. Tear cinnamon rolls into bite-sized pieces and place them evenly in the dish.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, cream, vanilla, cinnamon, brown sugar, and salt until smooth.
3. Pour the custard mixture evenly over the cinnamon roll chunks. Let it soak for at least 20 minutes.
4. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Then remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 to 20 minutes until golden and set.
5. In a small bowl, mix powdered sugar with milk until a smooth glaze forms.
6. Drizzle the glaze over the warm bread pudding and serve.
Notes
Let the bread soak fully in the custard before baking for best texture.
Day-old cinnamon rolls work best as they absorb the custard without falling apart.
For extra flavor, add chopped pecans or a splash of bourbon to the custard mix.
