Description
A quick and easy breakfast casserole made with canned cinnamon rolls and a pumpkin custard, topped with a cream cheese drizzle. It’s the perfect comfort food for busy mornings or holiday brunches.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cans (12.4 ounces each) canned cinnamon rolls with cream cheese frosting
- 1 cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
- 4 large eggs, at room temperature
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ cup packed brown sugar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 to 3 tablespoons milk
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
- Open both cans of cinnamon rolls. Set the frosting packets aside. Cut each cinnamon roll into quarters.
- Arrange the cinnamon roll pieces evenly in the prepared baking dish.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, eggs, heavy cream, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla extract, brown sugar, and salt until smooth.
- Pour the pumpkin custard evenly over the cinnamon roll pieces. Gently press down with a rubber spatula to help the custard seep in. Let sit for 5 minutes.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until the top is golden brown and the center is set but slightly jiggly. Tent with foil if browning too fast.
- While the casserole bakes, make the cream cheese drizzle: In a small bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons milk, and ½ teaspoon vanilla. Whisk until smooth and pourable. Add more milk if needed.
- Let the casserole cool for 5 to 10 minutes. Drizzle the cream cheese mixture over the top.
- Serve warm.
Notes
Don’t overbake; the custard should be slightly jiggly when done. Let the assembled casserole rest for 5 minutes before baking for best texture. Use room temperature ingredients for smoother mixing. Double the cream cheese drizzle if desired.
