Ingredients

Scale

1 (16.3 oz) can refrigerated cinnamon roll dough with icing
4 large eggs
1 cup whole milk
1/2 cup heavy cream

Instructions

Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish. Open the cinnamon rolls and cut each into 6-8 pieces. Scatter the pieces evenly in the dish. Sprinkle with nuts if using.
In a large bowl, whisk the eggs until frothy. Add the milk, cream, brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Whisk until smooth and the sugar dissolves.
Pour the custard evenly over the cinnamon roll pieces. Gently press down on any pieces to submerge them.
Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or up to 12 hours.
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Let the dish sit at room temperature while the oven heats, about 20-30 minutes. Remove the plastic wrap.
Bake for 45-50 minutes, until the top is golden brown, the center is set, and a knife inserted comes out clean.
Let rest for 5-10 minutes. Warm the included icing and drizzle over the bake. Serve warm with maple syrup.

Notes

Do not skip the overnight soak for proper texture. Let the dish sit out before baking for even cooking. For a lighter version, use 1 1/2 cups of 2% milk instead of milk and cream. Add 1 cup of blueberries before pouring the custard for a blueberry variation.
