Ingredients

• 6 pieces Day-old cinnamon buns (or cinnamon rolls)
• 2 cups Milk
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup Brown sugar
• 3 large Eggs
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x9-inch baking dish.

Step 2

Cut the day-old cinnamon buns into 1-inch cubes and evenly spread them in the prepared baking dish.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.

Step 4

Pour the milk mixture evenly over the cinnamon bun cubes, pressing gently to ensure they absorb the liquid. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to soak.

Step 5

Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden and the center is set but slightly jiggly.

Step 6

Remove the bread pudding from the oven and let it cool for 10-15 minutes before serving.

Step 7

Optional: Dust the top with powdered sugar before serving for an extra touch of sweetness.

Step 8

Serve warm on its own or with a dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of vanilla sauce.
