For Cinnamon Roll Casserole
- Cinnamon Rolls – I use refrigerated cinnamon rolls with icing for convenience, but you can use your favorite brand.
- Butter – Melted butter adds richness to the casserole and helps it crisp up.
- Eggs – Four large eggs give structure and create a creamy custard-like texture in the casserole.
- Heavy Cream – This adds richness and makes the custard mixture silky smooth.
- Ground Cinnamon – A classic cinnamon flavor to complement the cinnamon rolls.
- Vanilla Extract – Adds a sweet, aromatic flavor to balance the spices.
- Pecans – Chopped pecans add a nice crunch and a little nutty flavor.
- Maple Syrup – A touch of sweetness and depth to bring everything together.
- Icing – The icing that comes with the cinnamon rolls is drizzled over the casserole for extra sweetness and flavor.
