Instructions
Preheat oven and prepare dish - Preheat oven to 375°F. Pour melted butter into a 9x13 baking dish and spread evenly to coat the bottom.
Add cinnamon rolls - Cut each orange cinnamon roll into quarters and place pieces into the buttered dish. No need to arrange perfectly.
Make the custard - In a mixing bowl, whisk together brown sugar, heavy whipping cream, eggs, vanilla extract, and orange oil until smooth. Pour evenly over the cinnamon roll pieces so everything is coated.
Bake - Bake for 20 minutes, until the top is golden and the center is set but still soft.
Rest before icing - Remove from oven and let sit for 10 minutes. This helps the casserole firm up and makes it easier to serve.
Make and add icing - In a bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, melted butter, vanilla extract, orange juice, and orange zest until smooth. Start with 3 tablespoons of orange juice and add more as needed for desired consistency. Drizzle over the warm casserole before serving.
