Overnight Pumpkin Cheesecake French Toast Casserole
Description
The Overnight Pumpkin Cheesecake French Toast Casserole starts by splitting sweet rolls and spreading a pumpkin cheesecake filling made of softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, pumpkin puree, and pumpkin pie spice inside. The rolls are torn into pieces and layered in a buttered baking dish. A custard mixture combining eggs, milk, heavy cream, cinnamon, vanilla, and golden butter flavored cake mix is poured over the bread.
Covered and refrigerated overnight, the bread absorbs the custard fully. Before baking, a crumb topping of flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, and butter is spooned randomly over the casserole, creating a crisp contrast to the soft interior. Baking until set and browned produces tender, creamy baked French toast with a rich spiced pumpkin cheesecake flavor.
Finished with a glaze of cream cheese, powdered sugar, and milk brushed on top after baking adds sweetness and softness. This casserole is ideal for holiday mornings or weekend brunch when prepared in advance and baked fresh.
