Ingredients
2 cans refrigerated cinnamon roll dough
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 ounces cream cheese
1 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons milk or heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Nonstick baking spray
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and generously coat a bundt pan with nonstick baking spray.
2. Separate the cinnamon roll dough and cut each roll into small bite-size pieces.
3. Mix the granulated sugar and cinnamon in a large bowl or zip-top bag.
4. Toss the dough pieces in the cinnamon sugar until evenly coated.
5. Arrange the coated dough pieces loosely in the prepared bundt pan.
6. Melt the butter, then stir in the brown sugar and vanilla until smooth.
7. Pour the buttery brown sugar mixture evenly over the dough pieces.
8. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through in the center.
9. Let the monkey bread rest in the pan for 10 minutes, then carefully invert it onto a serving plate.
10. Beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, milk or cream, and vanilla until smooth, then drizzle over the warm monkey bread.
Notes
Do not pack the dough pieces tightly into the bundt pan. Leaving space between them helps the syrup move through the layers and prevents the center from turning doughy.
