Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Prepare a 9x13 inch baking pan by coating it with cooking spray or butter.

Open the cans of cinnamon rolls and cut each roll into quarters (about 1 inch pieces).

Spread the cut cinnamon roll pieces evenly in the prepared baking dish.

Set aside the icing that comes with the cinnamon rolls for later use.

In a bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, eggs, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Pour the egg mixture over the cinnamon roll pieces in the baking dish.

Let the casserole rest for about 30 minutes to allow the egg mixture to soak into the cinnamon rolls.

Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the edges and top are just beginning to brown.

Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool slightly before adding the icing on top.
