Ingredients You’ll Need for Blueberry Cinnamon Roll Casserole

How to Make Blueberry Cinnamon Roll Casserole

1. Prep the Baking Dish

Start by coating a small baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. This helps prevent sticking and ensures easy cleanup after baking.

2. Cut the Cinnamon Rolls

Remove the cinnamon rolls from the can and cut each one into quarters. Add the cinnamon roll pieces to the prepared baking dish, spreading them out evenly to create the base layer of your casserole.

3. Mix the Custard

In a large bowl, create your delicious custard mixture. Add the heavy cream, eggs, lemon juice, and vanilla extract, then bowl mix everything until fully combined.

The lemon juice gives the casserole a bright, fresh flavor that complements the brown sugar and cinnamon in the dough.

4. Pour and Layer

Pour the custard mixture over the top of the casserole, making sure all the pieces absorb the liquid.

Next, sprinkle the fresh blueberries evenly across the top. As they bake, they’ll burst and create pockets of sticky, sweet blueberry goodness throughout the dish.

5. Bake Until Golden Brown

Place the dish in a 350°F oven or smoker and bake for 20–25 minutes. The edges should turn beautifully golden brownwhile the center sets into a soft, bread-pudding-like texture. This is the moment your kitchen will smell absolutely irresistible.

6. Add the Frosting

Once out of the oven, allow the casserole to cool for a few minutes. Then drizzle the included cream cheese frostingevenly over the warm breakfast bake. The frosting melts slightly, creating the perfect finishing touch.

Serving Suggestions

Serve warm for the ultimate experience. Pair it with fresh fruit, crispy bacon, or a hot cup of coffee for a balanced holiday spread. This casserole is particularly perfect on Christmas morning, when you want something festive without spending hours in the kitchen.
