Uncommonly Unique: Easter treats: Cinnamon roll casserole

Love cinnamon rolls? Then you are going to love this dish! It has the great taste of cinnamon rolls that you love in a whole new form!

You will start with two packages of cinnamon rolls, icing reserved. We used the regular glazed one but I am sure that you can try any of the other flavors (orange, cream cheese, Carmel, etc.) First off, preheat the oven to 375 degrees.

Once you have your dough out of the tube (the tubes that no matter how muh I prepare myself for, I always end up scaring myself with) and set the icing aside into the fridge. You will then start by cutting each cinnamon roll into 6 pieces.

For an example of how to cut it, here is what I started with.

Start by making a clean cut straight down the middle.

Once this is done, cut diagonally (not perfect but okay).

Now make one more cut going the opposite direction and they you have it ! Sure, mine may not be absolutely perfect but hey, it works! Now that this is done, repeat with remaining pieces of cinnamon roll dough and set into a greased 3 quart baking dish.

I used this adorable threshold pan that I picked up at target! :)

Here are your remaining ingredients. Eggs, heavy cream, cinnamon and vanilla extract.

Start by cracking the eggs into the bowl and pouring in the heavy cream.

Add the remaining ingredients (cinnamon and vanilla) and whisk vigorously until the mixture is well combined. After you are down with this step, it should look like this:

Now pour this over your chunks of cinnamon roll dough.

After this, add some maple syrup. We found it best to use pure maple syrup (the good stuff!) rather than imitation syrups.

Pour it over the cinnnon roll mixture and pop it in the over for 25 minutes. Pods are your house will start to smell pretty amazing by now and you will know that your dish is done! Take it out of the oven and uncover it's beauty and let it cool for 10 minutes.

After that long 10 minutes have passed, you may then take out your icing that you had set aside and reheat each container with the metal lids OFF in the microwave for 15 seconds. The icing should pour just fine and you may drizzle them over your cinnamon rolls. If all of the icing does not come out, it's okay! Scoop it out with your fingers and treat yourself for all of your hard work (you deserve it! I know I did!). After the icing is drizzled on, pour a tiny bit of maple syrup over the top of it for a little extra decadence and let sit for a little bit to allow icing to harden. Sprinkle on some chopped pecans if you like, we chose not to. You may now slice and enjoy (Or dig in, literally like my boyfriend)!
