Cream-Poured Cinnamon Roll Cobbler Bake

A modern American brunch bake borrows cobbler spirit by pouring heavy cream over quartered cinnamon-roll dough so it soaks and sets custardy in the oven. Brown sugar, cinnamon, and the reserved icing finish the pull-apart sweetness.

Ingredients

• 2 cans (12.4 oz each) refrigerated cinnamon roll dough with icing
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/3 cup light brown sugar
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
• 1/8 tsp pinch of salt

Instructions

1. 1Preheat the oven to 350°F and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish so the cobbler releases cleanly after baking.
2. 2Open the cinnamon roll cans and separate the rolls, then cut each roll into quarters so you have bite-size dough pieces ready to scatter.
3. 3Scatter the dough pieces evenly across the prepared dish, leaving small gaps so the cream can pour through and soak every layer.
4. 4In a medium bowl whisk the eggs until smooth, then whisk in the heavy cream, vanilla, brown sugar, cinnamon, melted butter, and salt until the mixture looks silky and fully combined.
5. 5Slowly pour the cream mixture evenly over the dough pieces, tilting the pan gently so liquid settles into every corner and coats the tops.
6. 6Let the dish sit on the counter for 5 minutes so the dough begins to absorb the custard before it hits the heat.
7. 7Bake uncovered for 28 to 35 minutes, until the tops are deep golden, the centers look set rather than wet, and a knife inserted near the middle comes out mostly clean.
8. 8While the cobbler is still hot, warm the included icing packets briefly in a cup of hot water, then drizzle the icing in ribbons across the surface.
9. 9Rest the bake for 8 to 10 minutes so the cream sets into a spoonable custard layer under the cinnamon rolls.
10. 10Cut into squares and serve warm, scooping from the bottom so each portion gets both fluffy roll and creamy pour.
