Evenly butter a 9×13 baking dish. Line the cut cinnamon rolls in a single layer over the bottom of the dish so they are not overlapping; set aside.

Bake the casserole for ⏱️ 10 minutes at 375 degrees F. Remove the dish from the oven and evenly cover with the topping, breaking up any large pieces as you go (the cinnamon rolls will be "floating" in the custard at this point). Bake an additional ⏱️ 15-20 minutes or until the top of the casserole is evenly puffed and the center is baked through (a total baking time of ⏱️ 25-30 minutes). Don't overbake or it won't be as tender/moist.

Cool the casserole for ⏱️ 10 minutes then remove the covers from the icing and microwave on at 50% power (Level 5 out of 10) for 10 to ⏱️ 15 seconds or until thin enough to drizzle. Drizzle with desired amount of icing and dig in!
