Monkey Bread Cinnamon Rolls Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 can of Pillsbury Grand Cinnamon Rolls or any canned cinnamon rolls
- ½ cup heavy cream
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Icing from the cinnamon rolls package for the dipping sauce
- Optional toppings: chopped nuts chocolate chips, or caramel sauce
Instructions
Preheat the Oven
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (or prepare your grill for indirect heat if grilling).
Prepare the Cinnamon Rolls
- Open the can of Pillsbury cinnamon rolls and cut each roll into quarters.
- Roll each quarter into small balls, ensuring even size for uniform baking.
Layer the Dough
- Grease a bundt pan lightly.
- Place the cinnamon roll dough balls evenly in the bundt pan.
Prepare the Brown Sugar Cinnamon Sauce
- In a bowl, mix together ½ cup heavy cream, ½ cup brown sugar, 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Pour half of this mixture over the dough balls in the bundt pan.
Bake
- Place the bundt pan in the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. If using a grill, bake using indirect heat at 350°F.
Prepare the Dipping Sauce
- While the monkey bread is baking, mix the icing from the cinnamon rolls package with the remaining brown sugar cinnamon sauce. This will be your dipping sauce.
Cool and Serve
- Once baked, let the monkey bread cool for a few minutes. You can flip it out of the bundt pan or serve directly from the pan.
- Serve warm with the prepared dipping sauce on the side for extra sweetness.
