Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cans Pillsbury Grands! biscuit dough
- 21 ounces (595 grams) blueberry pie filling
- 3 ounces (85 grams) cream cheese
Dry Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup (30 grams) flour
- 1/4 cup (50 grams) granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 cups (180 grams) powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Wet Ingredients:
- 6 tablespoons (85 grams) butter, softened
- 3 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Prepare a bundt pan by generously greasing its interior and preheat the oven to 350F (175C).
- Separate each biscuit dough into bite-sized quarters, ensuring uniform pieces.
- Create a crumbly coating mixture by blending flour, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and softened butter until well combined.
- Transfer the coating mixture into a large Ziploc bag, add the biscuit pieces, and shake vigorously to ensure complete and even coverage.
- In a medium saucepan, heat blueberry pie filling and butter over medium temperature, stirring continuously until the mixture reaches a gentle simmer, approximately 2 minutes.
- Pour the warm blueberry sauce over the coated biscuit pieces, gently folding to distribute the sauce evenly throughout the mixture.
- Carefully transfer the blueberry-coated biscuit pieces into the prepared bundt pan, positioning a baking sheet underneath to catch potential drips.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until the bread develops a rich golden-brown color and appears fully cooked.
- While the bread bakes, whisk together powdered sugar, cream cheese, milk, and lemon juice until the icing reaches a smooth, pourable consistency.
- After removing the bread from the oven, allow it to rest in the pan for 5-10 minutes to facilitate easy removal.
- Gently invert the monkey bread onto a serving plate, ensuring it maintains its shape.
- Generously drizzle the prepared icing over the warm monkey bread and serve immediately for optimal flavor and texture.
Notes
- Choose ripe, fresh blueberries for the most vibrant and intense flavor in your monkey bread.
- Use room temperature ingredients to ensure even mixing and a smoother texture.
- Consider substituting gluten-free biscuit dough for a celiac-friendly version of this delightful dessert.
- When coating biscuit pieces, shake the bag gently to prevent tearing or breaking the dough.
