Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces Day-old cinnamon buns (or cinnamon rolls)
- 2 cups Milk
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar
- 3 large Eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x9-inch baking dish.
Cut the day-old cinnamon buns into 1-inch cubes and evenly spread them in the prepared baking dish.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
Pour the milk mixture evenly over the cinnamon bun cubes, pressing gently to ensure they absorb the liquid. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to soak.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden and the center is set but slightly jiggly.
Remove the bread pudding from the oven and let it cool for 10-15 minutes before serving.
Optional: Dust the top with powdered sugar before serving for an extra touch of sweetness.
Serve warm on its own or with a dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of vanilla sauce.
