Preparation

  5. Add the eggs and vanilla to the cream cheese mixture, mixing well.
  6. Pour in the milk and stir until everything is combined.
  7. Pour the cream cheese mixture over the chopped cinnamon rolls.
Baking
  1. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes until golden brown.
  2. Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 to 10 minutes.
  3. Spread the saved cinnamon roll icing over the top of the casserole.
  4. Sprinkle with colored sugar for a festive touch.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days. Reheat individual servings in the microwave. You can add flavored cream cheese for extra flavor and drizzle more icing for sweetness. Line the pan with parchment paper for easier cleanup.
