🥣 WHAT YOU’LL NEED
🍊 Refrigerated orange rolls, cut into pieces
🥚 Eggs
🥛 Milk or half-and-half
🍬 Granulated sugar
🍊 Fresh orange zest
🧈 Melted butter
🍦 A little vanilla extract
🍊 The orange-roll icing for drizzling
Optional extras can make it even more special:
✨ A little extra orange zest
✨ Chopped pecans or walnuts
✨ A light dusting of powdered sugar
✨ A few thin orange slices for serving
👩🍳 HOW TO MAKE IT
Start by cutting the orange rolls into bite-sized pieces and arranging them in a greased baking dish.
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar, melted butter, vanilla, and plenty of fresh orange zest. 🍊
Pour that mixture evenly over the orange-roll pieces, making sure everything gets a little love.
Cover the dish and refrigerate it overnight.
🌙 THAT’S IT FOR THE NIGHT!
The next morning, take the casserole out while the oven preheats.
Bake until the center is set and the top is puffed and golden.
Then comes my favorite part…
✨ DRIZZLE IT WITH THE ORANGE ICING WHILE IT’S STILL WARM. ✨
Watch that sweet glaze slowly melt into all those warm, buttery layers. ❤️
🍊 THE SECRET IS THE ORANGE ZEST
If you want that beautiful citrus flavor to really shine, don’t rely only on the icing.
Fresh orange zest adds a natural, fragrant orange flavor that makes the whole casserole taste brighter and more homemade.
And honestly? The smell while it’s baking may be just as good as the first bite. 😍
☕ WHAT TO SERVE WITH IT
This casserole is wonderful with:
☕ Hot coffee
🍵 Tea
🥓 Crispy bacon
🥚 Scrambled eggs
🍓 Fresh berries
🍊 Fresh fruit
For a holiday brunch, put it in the center of the table and let everyone help themselves.
💡 A LITTLE KITCHEN TIP
For the best texture, don’t skip the overnight resting time. It gives the custard mixture a chance to soak into the orange-roll pieces, creating those soft, tender layers underneath the golden top.
And when you’re ready to bake, make sure the center is fully set before serving.

And when you can prepare it the night before?
Even better. 🍊✨
