Gorilla Bread For Little Monkeys - cooking recipe
Ingredients
-
butter, for greasing the pan
3 (12 ounce) cans refrigerated biscuits
Filling
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
Dipping
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Drizzling
3/4 cup butter, melted
3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
Preparation
-
Grease a Bundt or tube pan with BUTTER; set aside.
Pre-heat oven to 400*.
Remove biscuits from tube, flattening each round.
Cut cream cheese brick into 30 small squares; set aside.
In a small bowl, mix white sugar & cinnamon; set aside.
Mix melted butter and brown sugar in another small bowl--it will be grainy; set aside.
ASSEMBLE: place one cheese square into center of each flattened biscuit.
Wrap biscuit dough around each cheese square, pinching edges; roll biscuit ball in dipping cinna-sugar; load into prepared pan.
When you have one layer in the pan, sprinkle about 3 tablespoons of the drizzling butter-sugar mixture over those biscuit balls.
Continue with the next layer & some drizzling mixture, finishing with the drizzling mixture at the top.
Pop the pan into the oven for about 30 minutes -- dough should still be just a teensy doughy (not completely dry).
Flip out of pan immediately; cool.
Best if served while luke-warm.
