How to Make Decadent Cinnamon Roll Bread Pudding

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, sugar, vanilla, ground cinnamon, and salt until creamy.
  • Gently fold in the cinnamon roll pieces until coated. If using optional toppings, add them now.
  • Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish and let it sit for 10-15 minutes.
  • Bake for 45-50 minutes until golden brown and a knife inserted comes out clean.
  • Let the bread pudding cool for a few minutes before serving.
  • For the glaze, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  • Drizzle the glaze over warm bread pudding and serve with whipped cream or ice cream.

Notes

Using slightly stale cinnamon rolls yields the best texture. Serve warm for the ultimate experience.
