More About This Recipe

  • Cinnamon rolls go into full-on dessert mode with this easy twist on bread pudding. I have a confession to make. One that is going to rock your world and shock you to the very core. I don’t like cinnamon rolls unless they come from a can. I know. It’s weird. The rolls at the mall and in bakeries look so good, but nah. I’m just super picky about cinnamon rolls. But the canned kind? I grew up with those bad boys. I will eat Pillsbury cinnamon rolls all day, every day! Speaking of eating them all day, why not move the cinnamon roll into the dessert category so we can enjoy them in the evening for once? In fact, let’s make them so dessert-y that they’re a riff on bread pudding, because you cannot go wrong with bread pudding, my friends. You can take it one step further, if you’d like, and top these guys with some whipped cream or a big ol’ scoop of ice cream and a drizzle of caramel. Heaven, I tell you.
