Instructions

Step 1

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and generously grease a Bundt pan with butter or non-stick spray. • Open the cans of cinnamon roll dough. Separate the rolls and set aside the icing for later use. Cut each roll into quarters. • In a medium-sized bowl, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Toss the cinnamon roll pieces in the mixture, ensuring each piece is thoroughly coated. • Arrange the cinnamon roll pieces in the greased Bundt pan. Pour the melted butter evenly over the pieces. • Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the bread is golden brown and no longer doughy in the middle. You can check this by inserting a toothpick - it should come out clean. • While the bread is baking, prepare the icing. In a small bowl, mix the saved icing, softened cream cheese, and milk until smooth. • Allow the monkey bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then turn it out onto a serving plate. • Drizzle the prepared icing over the warm monkey bread, ensuring to get it into the crevices and around the sides. • Serve warm and enjoy this gooey, sweet, and utterly delicious cinnamon roll monkey bread! Enjoy this treat for breakfast, brunch, or a dessert - it's sure to be a crowd pleaser. For added enjoyment, consider serving alongside a fresh pot of coffee or tea.
