This irresistible cinnamon roll cream pie combines the comforting flavors of cinnamon rolls with the creamy decadence of pie, creating a show-stopping dessert perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pre-made pie crust (or homemade if you prefer)
  • Butter for greasing the pie pan
  • 1 package of refrigerated cinnamon rolls (or homemade cinnamon rolls, if you have time)
  • Brown sugar (for extra sweetness)
  • Cinnamon (optional, to boost the flavor)
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup heavy cream (whipped, for folding into the filling)
  • Whipped cream (optional topping)
  • Cinnamon sugar (optional topping)
  • Drizzle of icing (optional topping, comes with cinnamon rolls or make your own)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease your pie pan lightly with butter. Roll out the pie crust and press it into the pan, trimming any excess around the edges.
  2. Poke the bottom of the crust with a fork to prevent bubbling. Blind bake for 10-12 minutes until lightly golden. Set aside to cool.
  3. Slice the cinnamon rolls into thin rounds (around 1/4 inch thick). Arrange them in a single layer over the baked crust, overlapping slightly. Sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon if desired.
  4. Place the pie into the oven and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the cinnamon rolls are puffed and golden. Let cool completely.
  5. In a saucepan, whisk together the milk, sugar, cornstarch, vanilla, and salt over medium heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens to a pudding-like consistency (about 7-10 minutes). Remove from heat and let cool.
  6. Once the filling has cooled, gently fold in the whipped cream until smooth and fluffy.
  7. Pour the cream filling over the cinnamon roll layer, smoothing with a spatula. Cover with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
  8. Before serving, top with whipped cream, a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar, and a drizzle of icing for extra flair.

Notes

Blind baking the crust prevents it from becoming soggy. Ensure the cinnamon rolls and cream filling are fully cooled before assembling. Chill the pie overnight for the best results.
