Ingredients
  

6 large cinnamon rolls (store-bought or homemade)

2 cups whole milk

1 cup heavy cream

4 large eggs

¾ cup granulated sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

¼ teaspoon nutmeg

½ cup raisins or chopped pecans (optional)

¼ cup maple syrup (for serving)

Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.

    Prepare the Cinnamon Rolls: Cut each cinnamon roll into quarters. If using homemade rolls, ensure they have cooled enough to handle. Layer the quartered rolls in the prepared baking dish.

      Make the Custard Mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, granulated sugar, milk, heavy cream, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined and smooth.

        Combine the Ingredients: Pour the custard mixture evenly over the cinnamon roll pieces in the baking dish. Use a spoon to gently press the rolls down, ensuring they soak up the custard.

          Add Optional Ingredients: If desired, sprinkle the raisins or chopped pecans over the top for added texture and flavor.

            Bake: Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.

              Remove Foil and Continue Baking: After 30 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the custard has set. You can insert a knife into the center; it should come out clean.

                Cool Slightly: Remove from the oven and allow the bread pudding to cool for about 10 minutes. This will make it easier to serve.

                  Serve: Drizzle with maple syrup and dust with powdered sugar if desired before serving warm.
