How to Make Cinnamon Roll Bread Pudding
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
- Cut 12-15 cinnamon rolls into 1-inch pieces and place them in the prepared baking dish.
- Evenly sprinkle ½ cup raisins and ½ cup chopped pecans over the cinnamon rolls.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 4 cups milk, 4 large eggs, ¾ cup granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until well combined.
- Pour the milk mixture evenly over the cinnamon rolls in the baking dish.
- Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight (or for at least 4 hours).
- Before baking, dot the top of the bread pudding with 4 tablespoons (½ stick) of unsalted butter, cut into small slices.
- Place the baking dish in a larger roasting pan. Pour enough hot water into the roasting pan to come halfway up the sides of the baking dish (this creates a water bath for even baking).
- Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the bread pudding is set in the center and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- While the bread pudding bakes, prepare the sauce: In a double boiler or a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water, combine 1 cup heavy cream and ¼ cup granulated sugar.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together 2 large egg yolks and ¼ cup granulated sugar until pale and slightly thickened.
- Gradually whisk a few tablespoons of the hot cream mixture into the egg yolk mixture to temper it (this prevents the eggs from scrambling).
- Pour the tempered egg yolk mixture into the double boiler with the remaining cream mixture.
- Cook, stirring constantly, for 8-10 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon.
- Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Serve the warm bread pudding immediately, topped generously with the vanilla sauce.
