Equipment

  • zip loc bag
  • medium bowl
  • measuring tools (cups & spoons)
  • bundt pan
  • Medium sauce pan
  • spatula
  • electric hand mixer w/wire whisk attachment

Ingredients

  • 2 cans refrigerated Pillsbury Grands Biscuit dough (8 ct each)
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup white granulated sugar
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 2 TBS softened butter
  • 1 (21oz) can blueberry pie filling
  • 4 TBS butter
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1-2 TBS milk
  • 1 tsp lemon juice

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease thoroughly a bundt pan. This will help release bread from pan.
  • Remove biscuits from cans and cut each biscuit into 8 pieces.
  • In a small bowl combine flour, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and 2 TBS softened butter with a fork until a crumb forms. Place mixture into a large ziploc bag.
  • Place 1/2 of the biscuit pieces into ziploc bag, close bag and shake well to coat. Remove biscuit pieces and place into prepared bundt pan. You should have 1/2 of the sugar/butter mixture in zip loc bag for remaining dough pieces.
  • In a medium sauce pan, melt 4 TBS butter. Add in blueberry pie filling and mix to combine cooking for 1 minute.
  • Pour 1/2 of the blueberry butter mixture over the coated biscuit pieces in the bundt pan. Place the rest of uncoated biscuit pieces into ziploc bag that has the remaining brown sugar/butter mixture and coat well.
  • Remove coated dough pieces and place on top of the pie filling in bundt pan. Top with remaining blueberry butter mixture.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 45 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from oven and allow to rest for 10 minutes. Take a knife and go around the inside of bundt pan to loosen bread.
  • Carefully invert monkey bread onto a serving platel.
  • In a medium bowl mix together powdered sugar, milk, lemon juice, and cream cheese to make a smooth drizzle. Drizzle over monkey bread. Serve immediately.
