Ingredients
Scale
Casserole
- 1 can Cinnamon Rolls Grands with cream cheese frosting
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- Juice from 1 lemon
Instructions
- Prepare Cinnamon Rolls: Cut the cinnamon rolls into quarters, then place the pieces evenly into a small baking dish to form the base of the casserole.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a small bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, lemon juice, eggs, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
- Combine Mixture with Rolls: Pour the cream mixture evenly over the quartered cinnamon rolls in the baking dish, allowing the rolls to soak up the liquid.
- Add Blueberries: Spread the fresh blueberries evenly over the top of the cinnamon roll pieces to distribute the fruit throughout the casserole.
- Bake the Casserole: Place the baking dish in a preheated oven or smoker at 350 degrees Fahrenheit and bake for 20 minutes, or until the casserole is puffed and golden brown.
- Cool Slightly: Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes to allow it to set and make serving easier.
- Drizzle Icing: Evenly drizzle the included cream cheese icing packet over the warm casserole for added sweetness and creaminess.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve the casserole warm, enjoying the gooey cinnamon rolls blended with bursts of fresh blueberry flavor.
Notes
- You can substitute fresh blueberries with frozen ones if fresh are not available; just make sure to thaw and drain them to prevent extra moisture.
- Adding lemon juice to the wet mixture enhances the flavor by balancing sweetness with a subtle tang.
- For a dairy-free option, replace heavy cream with coconut cream and use dairy-free frosting if available.
- This casserole can be prepared in advance and refrigerated overnight; bake it fresh in the morning for convenience.
- Smokers impart a unique smoky flavor, but an oven bake yields equally delicious results.
