INGREDIENTS NEEDED TO MAKE CINNAMON ROLL CASSEROLE WITH PEACHES
Frozen Sliced Peaches - I love using frozen fruit in recipes. It's all ready to go in the freezer, pull it out when you need it, and there is no waiting for it to maybe someday ripen on the counter. You will need 1 bag (16 oz) for this recipe. It equals 3 cups of chopped frozen peaches. So if you are using a larger bag of frozen fruit then just chop it and then measure out 3 cups.
Cream Cheese - I am guessing you would be just fine using the reduced-fat cream cheese. I prefer the real stuff because it tastes better and it makes this breakfast casserole so creamy and delicious. But feel free to use the lighter cream cheese to reduce fat and calories.
Powdered Sugar - This just sweetens the cream cheese mixture making it not so sour for the 'cream' part of the peaches n' cream.
Pillsbury Grands Cinnamon Rolls - These come in a 5 count package + a pack of icing. Cut each cinnamon roll round in half, and then cut each half into 3 small pieces. A total of 6 pieces per cinnamon roll. The cinnamon swirl will fall apart and crumble, and that's ok, just make sure you get it all into the bowl. You don't want to lose those cinnamon swirls!
MY TIPS FOR MAKING CINNAMON ROLL CASSEROLE RECIPE
- I have only ever used frozen peaches in this recipe but feel free to substitute with any frozen fruit. The key is to make sure that whatever you use is in 1" chunks (or smaller). I tend to cut mine smaller just to ensure that they cook through during the cook time.
- Make sure you are cutting each cinnamon roll into the smaller pieces as called for in the recipe. If the chunks are too big then they will not cook in the allotted time.
- Mix it together well before adding into the baking dish. It will be thick and slightly hard to mix, but just keep doing it to ensure that everything is combined. Once I pour it into the dish I like to use my fingers and just spread all the biscuits around making sure that biscuits are spread out nicely.

- Sausage Breakfast Casserole - A family favorite breakfast casserole with sausage, eggs, and hash browns.
- Egg Muffin Cups - Like an omelet but baked in muffin tins!
- Coconut Oil Almond Granola - My kids love to eat this with some yogurt in the mornings. We also like to build granola bowls with yogurt as the base, top with some granola, and then top with chopped fresh fruits.
Peaches n' Cream Cinnamon Roll Casserole
Ingredients
- 1 bar (8 oz) cream cheese
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 3 cups frozen sliced peaches, thawed & cut into 1" pieces (equal to 16 oz bag of frozen sliced peaches)
- 1 can (17.5 oz) Pillsbury Grands Refrigerated Cinnamon Rolls
Instructions
- Heat oven to 350°. Spray a 9x13 baking pan with cooking spray.
- In large microwavable bowl, microwave cream cheese and powdered sugar for 1 minute. Stir until smooth and creamy. Add in the chopped frozen peaches and stir together.
- Separate cinnamon roll dough into 5 pieces; set aside the icing. Cut each cinnamon roll in half, and then cut each half into 3 smaller pieces. One roll will yield 6 pieces. Add the chopped cinnamon rolls into the bowl of cream cheese and peaches. Stir together well to combine.
- Evenly spread out the mixture into the baking dish. Cook for 32-40 minutes. Top of the casserole will be golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the middle should come out clean. * If it comes out with wet batter then that means it's not done. Leave it in the oven for longer until cinnamon rolls are cooked through. If the top is getting too browned then loosley cover it with a piece of tin foil. I have never had to cook this longer than the time called for. Just make sure that each cinnamon roll is cut into 6 small pieces.
- Immediatley after taking it out of the oven, spoon icing (that came in the Pillsbury tube) into a Ziploc bag. Cut the corner with scissors and drizzle the icing over the casserole. Serve warm.
Notes
Nutrition
Thank you SO much for this recipe - my family LOVED it and have already asked me to “make it a staple”. I look forward to trying it with different assortments of fruit.. and while we did have this with brunch, my son asked if we could have it again for dessert tonight, topped with ice cream.. yum, yum!! A definite winner.
I made this for a work breakfast so I mostly doubled the recipe. I used 16 oz of frozen peaches and 16 oz frozen blueberries, only 1 PKG of cream cheese and 1 cup of confectioners sugar. I used 2 cans of cinnamon rolls. I cut up one PKG and added it like the recipe calls for. The second PKG of cinnamon rolls I cut each piece into thirds, dipped in butter and sprinkled cinnamon sugar and just placed them evenly over the top. I had a little butter left and drizzled over the top. Timing was the same. For the top I emptied both frosting pkgs into a bowl with two tbsp cream cheese frosting for 30 sec. Mixed it up and drizzled over the top. It was a hit! I can't come to a work breakfast without it!
Oh wow! I love the changes you made. Sounds yummy.
