Pumpkin custard
  • 4 eggs
  • 0.5 cup pumpkin puree
  • 0.33 cup heavy cream
  • 0.25 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice

Maple cream cheese frosting
  • 1 cream cheese frosting packets from the rolls Both packets total.
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup Added to the frosting before drizzling.

Equipment

  • 1 sheet pan
  • 1 oven

Method
 

Preheat and assemble
  1. Preheat the oven to 350F and grease a 9x13 baking dish.
  2. Cut each cinnamon roll into quarters and scatter the pieces in the prepared dish.
Make the pumpkin custard
  1. Whisk eggs, pumpkin puree, heavy cream, brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth.
  2. Pour the pumpkin custard evenly over the cinnamon roll pieces.
Bake and finish
  1. Let the bake soak for 5 minutes before placing it in the oven.
  2. Bake for 30-35 minutes at 350F until puffed and golden, with the custard set around the edges.
  3. Mix both cream cheese frosting packets with the maple syrup and drizzle over the warm bake.

Notes

For clean slices, rest the bake 5 minutes after drizzling so the custard firms up. Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat individual portions in the microwave. Freezing is not recommended because the custard texture can change after thawing. Dietary swap: use lactose-free cream and lactose-free cream cheese frosting packets if needed for dairy sensitivity.
