Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 12 tablespoons (180 milliliters) cinnamon
- 2 ounces (60 milliliters) milk
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) vanilla
Baking Accessories:
- Icing (as needed)
Additional Items:
- Cooking spray or butter (for greasing)
Instructions
- Whisk milk, vanilla, and cinnamon together in a spacious mixing bowl until thoroughly combined.
- Cut cinnamon rolls into quarter-sized segments and immerse them completely in the liquid mixture.
- Allow roll pieces to absorb the liquid thoroughly, letting them marinate for 12-15 minutes at room temperature.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F while the rolls are soaking.
- Transfer the saturated roll pieces into a prepared baking dish, ensuring even distribution.
- Gently warm the icing in the microwave for 10-12 seconds until slightly melted and pourable.
- Drizzle the warmed icing evenly across the top of the roll mixture.
- Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 22-25 minutes until golden brown and set.
- Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the casserole to stabilize.
Notes
- Reduce cinnamon amount to 2-3 tablespoons for balanced flavor, as 12 tablespoons would be overwhelming and bitter.
- Whole milk creates richer texture, but low-fat or dairy alternatives work for lighter version.
- Let bread pieces soak completely in liquid mixture to ensure soft, custardy consistency throughout casserole.
- Drizzle warm icing just before serving to maintain creamy, glossy appearance and prevent hardening.
