Equipment

  • 9x13 Casserole Dish for Oven

Ingredients

  • 2 17.5 ounce each Pillsbury Grands! Hot Cocoa Rolls
  • 4 eggs
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 1 1.38 ounce packet hot cocoa mix
  • 1 cup mini marshmallows
  • 1 cup mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Heat the oven to 350°F and lightly coat a 9x13 baking dish with nonstick spray.
  • Take the rolls out of the cans, cut each one into bite-sized pieces, and spread them evenly in the prepared dish.
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, and hot cocoa mix until the mixture is smooth.
  • Slowly pour the chocolate custard over the roll pieces, making sure everything is well coated.
  • Bake for 30–35 minutes, until the top is lightly golden and the center is fully set.
  • Once baked, spread the icing over the warm casserole, then top with mini marshmallows and mini chocolate chips. Let it rest for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Finish with a drizzle of chocolate syrup if desired.

Notes

Tips

  • Cut the rolls into evenly sized pieces so they bake at the same rate and soak up the custard evenly.
  • Whisk the cocoa mix thoroughly into the eggs and cream to prevent any dry pockets of mix in the casserole.
  • Add the marshmallows during the last few minutes of baking if you prefer them lightly toasted instead of fully melted.

Storage & Make Ahead

  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • To reheat, warm individual portions in the microwave for 20–30 seconds until heated through.
  • The casserole can be assembled the night before, covered tightly, and baked fresh in the morning for best texture.
