Ingredients

• 12 rolls King's Hawaiian Original Sweet Rolls
• 1.5 cups milk
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 0.75 cup sugar
• 0.25 cup butter unsalted, melted
• 2 large eggs
• 2 large egg yolks
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup butter melted
• 0.5 cup brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 4 ounces cream cheese
• 0.75 cup powdered sugar
• 1 tablespoon milk

Instructions

1. Let the King's Hawaiians Original Hawaiian Sweet Rolls dry out slightly, then cut them into bite-sized pieces.
2. Combine milk, cream, sugar, butter, eggs, egg yolks, vanilla extract, and salt in a saucepan. Stir gently to break down the eggs, then cook on low heat until the butter is melted. Do not thicken the mixture.
3. Prepare the cinnamon sugar filling by mixing melted butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt together.
4. Assemble the bread pudding by layering half of the roll pieces in a greased springform pan. Pour over half of the custard mixture, ensuring all pieces are soaked, and then spread half of the cinnamon sugar filling on top.
5. Repeat the layering process for the second half. For a cinnamon roll look, arrange the rolls in a circular pattern and pipe the cinnamon sugar filling in a spiral.
6. Bake the bread pudding in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown and set.
7. While the bread pudding bakes, prepare the cream cheese icing by mixing cream cheese, powdered sugar, and a little milk until smooth.
8. Serve the bread pudding warm with a drizzle of cream cheese icing. Enjoy your cozy dessert experience.
