Servings: 10 Monkey Breads

Ingredients

Monkey Bread

  • 1 can refrigerator biscuits I use Pillsbury Grands
  • 1/4 cup cinnamon sugar 3 Tbsp sugar + 3 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/3 cup cubed cream cheese
  • 1/3 cup chopped strawberries

Caramel Sauce

  • 3/4 c brown sugar
  • 3 Tbsp butter
  • 1-2 Tbsp cream or milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 and line a muffin tin with liners. Typically, this recipe makes about 10 mini monkey bread cups.
  • Cut each biscuit into 4-5 pieces, depending upon how large each biscuit is (when you stuff the dough, it will stretch out quite a bit).
  • Flatten each piece in the palm of your hand and place a cube of cream cheese and 1-2 strawberry pieces in the center. Fold the dough completely around the filling, making sure the dough completely covers the filling.
  • Roll the dough into a ball, and roll it in the cinnamon sugar mixture.
  • Place the dough into the muffin cups, about 3-4 pieces per cup (depending upon the size).
  • Sprinkle any leftover strawberries over the dough.
  • In a small saucepan over med-low heat, combine butter, brown sugar, 1 Tbsp cream (or milk), and vanilla extract. Once combined, bring the mixture to a boil (over med-low heat). As soon as it's boiling, remove from the heat. If the sauce is too thick, add in the last Tbsp of cream (or milk).
  • Over each muffin cup, spoon a little bit of caramel sauce, repeating until you are out of sauce.
  • Place in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until biscuits are golden brown.
  • Best when served warm.
  • Enjoy!
