It’s time for another bread pudding recipe to hit the blog and this time I’ve got a Cinnamon Roll Bread Pudding recipe for you that going to become a family favorite!

This bread pudding is perfect for dessert and would be great for a special treat, a Mother’s Day dinner treat, but I think this Cinnamon Roll Bread pudding would also make a fantastic special day breakfast for Christmas, Valentines, Easter, an Anniversary or Birthday. Or you know…. to celebrate a Wednesday.

WHAT IS BREAD PUDDING?

I talked about bread pudding a bit in my Doughnut Bread Pudding Recipe Post, but if you didn’t get to see that one let me tell you about bread pudding really quick. Bread Pudding, in the south, is normally a sweet baked dessert. It’s a wonderfully baked combination of bread and custard that’s topped with a sauce.

HOW IS Cinnamon Roll BREAD PUDDING DIFFERENT FROM REGULAR BREAD PUDDING?

Bread pudding is normally made with stale/toasted bread, sweet bread like I use in my Pineapple Bread Pudding or doughnuts like in my Doughnut Bread Pudding. Cinnamon Roll Bread Pudding is made with baked cinnamon rolls as the base!

Unbaked Cinnamon Rolls in Pan

What you’ll need for the bread pudding:
  • jumbo refrigerated cinnamon rolls
  • eggs
  • Light Brown Sugar
  • vanilla
  • whole milk
  • half and half
  • Butter/cooking spray to grease pan
What Cinnamon Rolls To use:

Let’s take a few minutes to talk about cinnamon rolls.

First I want to let you know, because I know someone will ask, YES you can use homemade cinnamon rolls for this Cinnamon Roll Bread Pudding.  I decided to use canned cinnamon rolls to make particular one because bread pudding already has a few steps and a wait time and I didn’t want to add more time with a homemade cinnamon roll recipes.

However if you want to make cinnamon rolls from scratch for this bread pudding, here are a few recipes to try:

  • Cinnamon Buns Glazed with Vanilla Coffee Infused Icing
  • Banana Cinnamon Rolls With Cream Cheese Frosting
  • Cinnamon Apple Buns

Baked Cinnamon Rolls in Pan

If you want to use store bought cinnamon rolls for this bread pudding, those work perfectly too! Just baked them about 5 minutes longer than the package says. The cinnamon rolls are going to soak in a custard before the bread pudding is baked so they need to be just a tad dry in order to really soak up that custard mixture.

DON’T GLAZE THEM

I know you’ll be tempted to glaze those warm cinnamon rolls when they come out of the oven but resist! You’re going to use those packets of cream cheese frosting for the glaze later!

Chopped Cinnamon Rolls

Making Cinnamon Roll Bread pudding:

First, cut each cinnamon roll into large to medium pieces and pile them into a 9×9 dish or a 2-quart rectangle baking dish.

Pouring Custard into Cinnamon Roll Bread Pudding

Make the custard according to the recipe and pour that all over the cinnamon roll pieces, making sure to pour it evenly.

Unbaked Cinnamon Roll Bread Pudding

Make sure that every piece is well coated. I like to use a spatula to push the cinnamon rolls down into the custard just a bit so that the custard at least runs over each piece.

Once you’ve added the custard it’s time to let this bread pudding chill in the fridge.

Just wrap it in foil and pop it into the fridge.

Cinnamon Roll Bread Pudding

When I make bread pudding I always let my bread puddings sit in the fridge overnight or at least 8 hours. I know that some people make bread pudding and let it sit for just an hour or so but I was taught to let it sit and soak up as much custard as it can.

Cinnamon Roll Bread Pudding Ready for the oven

Time for the oven!

After the bread pudding has been sitting in the fridge for as long as you decided to let it chill for, remove the foil and preheat your oven.

Don’t worry it there is still custard in the dish, that’s ok.  This cinnamon roll bread pudding will puff up as it bakes and absorb even more of the custard.

Baked Cinnamon Roll Bread Pudding

After about an hour the bread pudding should be done.

Remove from it from the oven and let it cool.

A slice of Cinnamon Roll Bread Pudding

What you’ll need for the sauce:

  •  heavy cream
  • white sugar
  • cornstarch
  • warm water
  • vanilla extract
  • cinnamon
  • packets of icing that came with cinnamon rolls

Follow the recipe in the link below to make the glaze and pour it over each piece of cinnamon roll bread pudding as it is served. It can also drizzled over the entire dish before slicing.

Q&A:
  • Can I use homemade cinnamon rolls that I made from scratch instead of canned rolls?

YES you can use homemade cinnamon rolls for this Cinnamon Roll Bread Pudding.

  • Can I use regular sized cinnamon rolls instead of jumbo?

Yes, but you’ll need to use more rolls to fill the pan.

I love the Farmer’s Market and Farm to Table meals but I’m also not ashamed to use canned vegetables and baking mixes. It’s all about balance! I’m so glad y’all are here!
