Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Spray a 9 by 13 pan with cooking spray and set aside.

Open the cinnamon rolls and chop them into quartered pieces.

Place the quartered cinnamon rolls into the sprayed pan, separating the pieces a little.

In a bowl, mix together 3/4 cup of heavy cream, 4 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon. Whisk until well combined.

Pour the egg mixture over the cinnamon rolls in the pan, scraping every last bit in.

If needed, use a spatula to spread the mixture evenly over the cinnamon rolls or tip the pan to let it run evenly.

Drizzle about 1/4 cup of maple syrup over the top of the casserole.

Bake for 30 to 35 minutes until bubbly and golden brown on top, or cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.

If refrigerated overnight, pull it out 30 to 60 minutes before baking to let it come to room temperature, then bake as directed.

While the casserole is baking, microwave the icing containers for about 10 seconds to soften them.

Drizzle the softened icing over the top of the casserole once it is fresh from the oven.
