CINNAMON ROLL BREAD PUDDING WITH CUSTARD RECIPES

Steps:

• Stir 4 cups milk, white sugar, and rice together in a slow cooker until the sugar dissolves; add margarine.
• Cook on High for 2 1/2 hours.
• Beat egg, 2 tablespoons milk, vanilla extract, almond extract, and salt together in a bowl.
• Temper the egg by stirring a small amount of the hot rice mixture into the egg mixture to gently warm the egg without cooking it; stir the egg mixture into the rice in the slow cooker.
• Continue cooking on High until creamy, about 15 minute more.
• Transfer pudding to a glass baking dish, cover with plastic wrap leaving two corners uncovered to vent, and refrigerate until chilled completely, at least 1 hour.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Prepare cinnamon rolls according to package directions, and set aside frosting.
• While still warm, cut or tear 8 of the cooked cinnamon rolls into bite-sized pieces, discarding remaining 2 rolls or saving for another use. Arrange pieces in a single layer on a large flat surface and allow to cool completely.
• Add cinnamon roll pieces to a greased 9x13-inch baking dish. Sprinkle on the pecans.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, sugar and vanilla. Pour mixture over the cinnamon rolls and press the rolls down with a fork to cover them in the milk mixture. Let set for 20 minutes to soak up some of the liquid.
• Bake for 40 minutes or until set. Drizzle the reserved frosting over the top and serve.
