Description
Cinnamon Roll Bread Pudding is a warm, comforting dessert made with tender chunks of cinnamon rolls soaked in rich spiced custard and baked until golden.
Ingredients
Scale
- 5–6 large cinnamon rolls or 6 cups cubed brioche/challah with cinnamon
- 4 large eggs
- 1 3/4 cups whole milk
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed

- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- Cream cheese glaze or vanilla icing, as desired
- 1/3 cup chopped pecans or raisins (optional)
Instructions
- Grease an 8×8 or 9×9 inch baking dish with melted butter. Toast fresh bread or cinnamon rolls at 300°F (150°C) for 10 minutes if needed to dry them out.
- In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, cream, sugars, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until well combined.
- Place the bread cubes into the baking dish. Pour the custard evenly over them, pressing down to soak. Let sit for at least 20 minutes or refrigerate up to overnight.
