Chocolate Cream Cheese Stuffed Monkey Bread Recipe
Ingredients
This recipe is a delicious twist on classic monkey bread. To make it, you will need the following ingredients:
2 cans refrigerated biscuit dough, 16 ounces cream cheese, ½ cup white sugar, ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, ¼ cup melted butter, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
Instructions
To get started, preheat the oven to 375°F. Grease a 9-inch round baking dish with butter.
In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar together until combined. Then, add the cocoa powder, melted butter, and vanilla extract and mix until smooth.
Take the biscuit dough and cut it into small pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and then flatten it into a disc. Place a teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture into the center of each disc and pinch the edges together to form a ball.
Then, place the balls into the prepared baking dish. Once all of the balls have been placed, pour the melted butter over the top. Bake the monkey bread in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown. Allow to cool before serving.
