Print Recipe

A cozy and indulgent breakfast casserole combining frozen cinnamon rolls and a rich custard, slow-cooked to perfection in a crockpot for a hands-off, delicious meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can frozen cinnamon rolls (about 9 rolls)
  • 6 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 cups whole milk (480 ml)
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream (120 ml), optional
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • A pinch of salt
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • Cream cheese glaze (optional): 4 oz cream cheese, powdered sugar, and a little milk or lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Spray the inside of a 6-quart crockpot with nonstick cooking spray or butter.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, whole milk, heavy cream, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, brown sugar, and salt until smooth and slightly frothy.
  3. Slice the frozen cinnamon rolls into quarters without thawing.
  4. Gently fold the cinnamon roll pieces into the custard mixture, coating each piece well.
  5. Pour the mixture evenly into the prepared crockpot.
  6. Cover and cook on low for 3 to 4 hours. Check at 3 hours by inserting a knife into the center; it should come out mostly clean with custard set and rolls puffed.
  7. Optional: Prepare cream cheese glaze by beating softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and milk or lemon juice until smooth. Drizzle over casserole before serving.
  8. Serve warm using a spatula to scoop portions.

Notes

Use frozen cinnamon rolls to maintain texture and avoid sogginess. Avoid opening the crockpot lid frequently to prevent heat loss. You can prep the casserole the night before and refrigerate, adding 30 minutes to cooking time. Customize with nuts, fruits, or spices for variation.
