Warm cinnamon rolls baked in rich custard and glazed for a comforting, sweet dessert everyone will love.

# Ingredients:

→ Bread Base

01 - 6 leftover cinnamon rolls (about 6 cups), cut into 2.5 cm cubes

→ Custard

02 - 4 large eggs
03 - 480 ml whole milk
04 - 240 ml heavy cream
05 - 100 g granulated sugar
06 - 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
07 - 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
08 - 1/4 teaspoon salt

→ Glaze

09 - 120 g powdered sugar
10 - 30–45 ml milk
11 - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Preheat oven to 175°C. Grease a 22x33 cm baking dish.
02 - Evenly arrange the cinnamon roll cubes in the prepared baking dish.
03 - In a large mixing bowl, whisk eggs, whole milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt until fully combined.
04 - Pour the custard evenly over the cinnamon roll pieces, gently pressing to submerge and soak the bread.
05 - Allow the mixture to stand for 10 minutes so the rolls absorb the custard.
06 - Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the center is set and the surface is golden brown.
07 - While baking, combine powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a bowl. Whisk until smooth and pourable.
08 - Remove from oven and let cool for 10 minutes. Drizzle with glaze before serving.

# Additional Notes:

01 - Top with chopped pecans or walnuts for added crunch.
02 - Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
03 - Use stale cinnamon rolls for optimal texture and soak.
