Ingredients
8 large cinnamon rolls
3 cups heavy cream, room temperature
3 large eggs, room temperature
2 large egg yolks, room temperature
¼ cup sugar
½ cup butter, melted and cooled
1–2 teaspoons vanilla extract
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
⅛ cup confectioners’ sugar, optional for dusting
Instructions
Butter a 2-quart baking dish. Cut or tear the cinnamon rolls into about 1-inch pieces and place them in the dish without packing them tightly.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, eggs, egg yolks, melted butter, sugar, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until well combined.
Pour the custard mixture evenly over the cinnamon roll pieces. Add a little milk if needed so the bread is covered with liquid.
Let the bread pudding soak for about 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Bake on the middle rack for 25–30 minutes, or until the custard is set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let cool for 10–15 minutes before serving warm. Dust with confectioners’ sugar if desired.
Notes
Do not overfill the baking dish, as the bread pudding will expand while baking. Half-and-half or whole milk may be used instead of heavy cream for a lighter version.
