Description
Make this gooey cinnamon roll casserole the night before for a simple, delicious brunch bake that tastes like you spent all day cooking.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (12.4 ounce) can refrigerated biscuit dough
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- Cut each refrigerated biscuit into quarters. Place the biscuit pieces evenly in the prepared baking dish.
- In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon together. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the biscuit pieces.
- In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the water and brown sugar until the brown sugar dissolves. Bring this mixture to a gentle boil, then remove from heat.
- Pour the hot butter mixture evenly over the cinnamon-sugar coated biscuits.
- In a separate small bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually beat in the heavy cream and powdered sugar until the icing is smooth and creamy.
- Drizzle about half of the cream cheese icing over the biscuits. Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
- When ready to bake, preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Remove the plastic wrap.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the casserole is golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly. Drizzle the remaining cream cheese icing over the warm casserole before serving.
Notes
- For a crockpot cinnamon rolls version, assemble as directed through step 5, but use a slow cooker safe dish or line your slow cooker insert with foil. Cook on low for 3-4 hours.
- If you want a quicker version, you can skip the overnight refrigeration, but allow the topping to sit on the biscuits for 15 minutes before baking.
- This recipe uses canned dough for an easy brunch bake, but you can substitute your favorite homemade biscuit dough.
