Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup butter melted
  • 2 (12.4-ounce) tubes refrigerated cinnamon rolls with icing
  • 4 large eggs, lightly beated
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350ºF (177ºC). Set an oven rack to the lower third of the oven.
  • Pour melted butter (1/4 cup) into a 9X13-inch baking dish.
  • Remove cinnamon rolls (2 tubes) from the tubes and cut each cinnamon roll into 8 pieces. Set aside both tubs of icing. Arrange cinnamon roll pieces in the baking dish.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs (4), heavy cream (1/2 cup), cinnamon (2 teaspoons), nutmeg (1/4 teaspoon), and vanilla (1 tablespoon) until well combined. Pour over cinnamon rolls.
  • Sprinkle pecans (1 cup) over cinnamon rolls then drizzle maple syrup (1/4 cup) over the casserole.
  • Bake in preheated oven until the top begins to brown, about 22-25 minutes. Don't over-bake or the casserole can become dry. Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack for 15 minutes.
  • Pour both tubs of icing into a small microwave-safe dish. Microwave for 10-15 seconds to thin, drizzle over casserole.

Notes

  1. Too Thin? If the warmed icing is too thin, you can whisk a little more powdered sugar until the icing is the perfect consistency for drizzling. 
  2. À la mode: If you feel especially naughty, you can serve it with vanilla ice cream.
