Questions & Answers
- → How do I prevent the custard from becoming too runny?
Make sure to whisk the custard ingredients thoroughly and pour evenly over the cinnamon roll pieces. Baking until the casserole is puffed and golden also helps set the custard properly.
- → Can I add nuts to this dish?
Yes, sprinkling chopped pecans over the casserole before baking adds a nice crunch and nutty flavor.
- → What type of milk works best for the custard?
Whole milk combined with heavy cream creates a rich custard, but you can substitute with half-and-half if preferred.
- → Is it necessary to use the icing from the cinnamon roll cans?
Using the reserved icing adds a sweet finishing glaze that complements the baked custard, but you can substitute with a homemade glaze if desired.
- → How long should I let the casserole cool before serving?
Letting it cool for about 10 minutes helps the custard set and makes it easier to slice and serve.
