Pumpkin Cheesecake Monkey Bread

Yield: 8-10 servings
Prep Time: 45 minutes
Cook Time: 40 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour 25 minutes

Refrigerated biscuits make this sticky, sweet pumpkin monkey bread irresistible and so simple to make. Let it cool and drizzle with maple glaze, and enjoy the taste of fall.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1 cup solid pumpkin (not pumpkin pie mix)
  • 8 ounces cream cheese
  • 4 cans (7.5 oz each) refrigerated buttermilk biscuits
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chunks

For Glaze

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1-2 tablespoons milk

Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 6-cup fluted tube cake pan with cooking spray.
  2. In large plastic zip top bag, mix granulated sugar and pumpkin pie spice and set aside.
  3. In 1-quart saucepan, heat brown sugar, butter, pumpkin and cream cheese over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until butter is melted. Beat mixture with whisk until mostly smooth (its okay if there are some tiny pieces of cream cheese that remain).
  4. Separate 1 can of dough into 10 biscuits. Cut each biscuit into quarters (tip: you can stack 3 biscuits together, cut stack into quarters and separate pieces). Place a piece of chocolate in center of each dough quarter and press dough into a ball covering chocolate chunk. Place biscuit pieces into sugar bag and shake to coat. When pieces are coated, arrange in pan.
  5. Open second can of biscuits, cut into quarters, roll into balls (without chocolate). Place biscuit pieces into bag and shake to coat and arrange in pan with chocolate stuffed dough balls.
  6. Pour half of pumpkin mixture over biscuit pieces in pan.
  7. Cut and roll remaining 2 cans of biscuits as before and arrange in pan. Pour remaining pumpkin mixture over biscuit pieces. Place pan on cookie sheet to catch any spills.
  8. Bake 35-40 minutes or until golden brown.
  9. Cool in pan 5 minutes.

For Glaze

  1. In a medium bowl mix powdered sugar, maple syrup, vanilla and one tablespoon of milk. Stir to combine and desired consistency. Add more milk if need.

To Assemble

  1. Place heatproof plate upside down over pan; turn plate and pan over. Remove pan. Cool 10 to 15 minutes, drizzle with glaze and serve warm. Store in refrigerator.
