Time 1h10m

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

nonstick cooking spray, for greasing
½ cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 cans refrigerated cinnamon rolls
4 oz cream cheese, cut in 1 teaspoon pieces
½ cup brown sugar
½ cup unsalted butter, melted, 1 stick

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease 12-cup fluted bundt pan with nonstick spray.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the sugar and cinnamon.
  • Open the cans of cinnamon rolls. Cut each roll in half, then flatten each piece into a circle with your fingers. Place a piece of cream cheese in the center of the dough round. Fold the dough over the cream cheese to seal and roll into a ball. Toss in the cinnamon sugar. Place in the prepared bundt pan. Repeat with remaining dough pieces.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the brown sugar and melted butter until smooth. Pour the mixture over the filled cinnamon roll balls.
  • Bake the monkey bread for 35-40 minutes, or until golden brown. Let cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes, until cool to the touch, then invert onto a serving platter.
  • Add the frosting from the cans of cinnamon rolls into a small microwave-safe bowl. Warm in the microwave for 30 seconds to loosen.
  • Drizzle the icing over the monkey bread. Serve warm.
  • Enjoy!

CINNAMON ROLL MONKEY BREAD



Cinnamon Roll Monkey Bread image

Cinnamon roll monkey bread is the decadent combination of cinnamon rolls baked monkey-bread-style into a gooey, flaky, indulgent treat!

Categories     Easter     Mother's Day     winter     baking     comfort food     dessert

Time 1h

Yield 10-12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 17.5-oz. cans large cinnamon rolls, such as Grands
1/2 c. granulated sugar
1 tbsp. ground cinnamon
1 stick unsalted butter (1/2 cup)
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/3 c. light brown sugar, firmly packed
2 oz. cream cheese, room temperature
Nonstick cooking spray

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°. Open the cinnamon roll tubes and remove the frosting cups; set them aside to come to room temperature. Separate the dough into individual cinnamon rolls and cut each roll into 6 pieces.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar and cinnamon. Set aside.
  • In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. After it is melted, continue to cook it for an additional 3 to 5 minutes, or until the foam and butter underneath are golden brown. Remove from the heat and add the vanilla (it will bubble up!). Once the bubbles have subsided, whisk in the brown sugar until smooth and well combined.
  • Meanwhile, thoroughly spray a 12-cup nonstick Bundt pan with nonstick cooking spray. Add half of the cinnamon roll pieces to the mixing bowl with the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Toss well to coat the pieces. Place the pieces in the Bundt pan, creating an even layer. Drizzle with half of the butter-brown sugar mixture. Repeat tossing and layering with remaining ingredients, stirring butter-brown sugar mixture before drizzling, if needed.
  • Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, until the monkey bread has puffed up about 1 inch in the pan and the top is deep brown. Let cool for 10 minutes in the pan, then place a dinner plate over the top of the pan. With oven mitts, hold the pan and dinner plate together, then flip over. Carefully remove the bundt pan (give it a few taps if the bread doesn't seem to be releasing) and let it slide out onto the plate.
  • Meanwhile, mix the cream cheese with a small rubber spatula until very smooth. Add in the contents of the frosting cups, whisking well to combine. Dollop the icing all over the top of the monkey bread, letting it melt into the top and drizzle down the sides. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • For a sweeter monkey bread, use a cinnamon roll with a higher sugar content.
  • If you don't have a bundt pan, you can use a 9x13 inch baking dish. Just be sure to adjust the baking time accordingly.
  • To make sure the monkey bread is cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the monkey bread is done.
  • Let the monkey bread cool for a few minutes before inverting it onto a serving plate. This will help prevent the cream cheese frosting from running off.
  • Serve the monkey bread warm with additional cream cheese frosting, if desired.

Conclusion:

Cinnamon roll and cream cheese monkey bread is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With its sweet and gooey cinnamon roll filling and creamy cream cheese frosting, this monkey bread is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a fun and festive dessert, give this cinnamon roll and cream cheese monkey bread a try.
