Pumpkin Cinnamon Roll Casserole
Pumpkin Cinnamon Roll Casserole combines refrigerated cinnamon roll dough pieces baked in a pumpkin-spiced egg custard. The dish is topped with canned icing drizzle before baking, creating softness from the rolls and a rich, spiced custard flavor. Finished with an option of ice cream or whipped topping, it offers a seasonal twist on familiar cinnamon rolls in a baked casserole format suitable for brunch or dessert.
Ingredients
- cinnamon roll dough with icing, two 8-count tubes, refrigerated
- 3 egg large
- ¾ cup pumpkin not pumpkin pie filling, puree
- ½ cup milk
- ½ cup light brown sugar packed
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt or to tase
- 1 cup confectioners’ sugar
- 2 tablespoons cream or milk
- vanilla ice cream optional for serving, or whipped topping
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375F. Line a 9×9-inch pan with foil and spray with cooking spray; set aside.
- Cut the cinnamon roll dough into 3 even strips, then cut those strips into 3 pieces, making 9 pieces total per cinnamon roll. Scatter in prepared pan, separating the pieces from one another because they stick together if you slice them in stacks; set pan and the icing from the packaging aside.
- To a medium bowl, add the eggs, pumpkin puree, 1/2 cup milk, brown sugar, granulated sugar, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla, cinnamon, salt, and whisk until smooth.
- Evenly pour the mixture over the cinnamon rolls.
- Evenly drizzle the icing. If the icing is cold, heating it in the microwave for 10 seconds will make drizzling easier.
- Place pan on a baking sheet (insurance against overflow and highly recommended) and bake for about 40 minutes, or until the top is set in the center and lightly golden brown. Place pan on a wire rack to cool momentarily while you make the frosting.
- To a medium bowl, add the confectioners’ sugar, 2 tablespoons cream or milk, and whisk to combine until smooth.
- Evenly drizzle the frosting over the rolls and optionally serve with ice cream or whipped topping. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Store leftovers covered at room temperature for up to 5 days to maintain freshness.
- If the icing is cold, warming it slightly can help with easier drizzling.
- Using pumpkin puree instead of pie filling provides genuine pumpkin flavor without added spices or sweeteners.
