Instructions

Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Spray a 9×13-inch baking pan with cooking spray to prevent sticking and set aside.
Prepare Cinnamon Rolls: Open the cinnamon roll tubes and carefully remove the rolls, setting aside the frosting packets for later. Cut each cinnamon roll into bite-sized pieces and place them evenly in the prepared baking pan.
Mix Custard: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, beaten eggs, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until fully combined and smooth.
Soak Cinnamon Roll Pieces: Pour the egg and cream mixture evenly over the cut cinnamon roll pieces in the baking dish, ensuring that they are well coated and soaking up the custard.
Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown, puffy, and the custard is set.
Warm and Drizzle Frosting: Once baked, microwave the reserved frosting packet for 5 to 10 seconds until slightly warm and drizzle it generously over the warm casserole.
Serve: Serve immediately while warm for the best texture and flavor experience.

Notes

This casserole combines the beloved flavors of cinnamon rolls with a French toast-style custard, making it ideal for busy mornings or special occasions.
For added texture, consider sprinkling chopped nuts or adding fresh berries on top before serving.
You can customize the sweetness level by adjusting the amount of maple syrup or cinnamon used in the egg mixture.
Using refrigerated cinnamon rolls with icing packets makes preparation quick and easy.
Ensure the casserole is fully cooled for easier slicing if planning to serve later or for leftovers.
