Pumpkin Cheesecake Monkey Bread

Melissa Jo

Ingredients
  

  • 2 17.5 oz. cans of Pillsbury Grands Pumpkin Spice Rolls
  • 3/4 cup of brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup of granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp. of pumpkin pie spice
  • 4 tsp. of cinnamon sugar
  • 1/2 cup of pumpkin puree
  • 1 stick of butter 8 tbsp.
  • 4 oz. of cream cheese

Instructions
 

  • preheat the oven to 350
  • grease a Bundt pan thoroughly with butter
  • in a bowl add browns sugar, granulated sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and 2 tsp. of cinnamon sugar (whisk together)
  • cut each roll into 4 pieces (quarters)
  • add the pieces of rolls into the sugar mixture and toss until the pieces are well coated
  • add the sugar-coated pieces into the greased Bundt pan
  • in a sauce pan at low heat stir together the butter, cream cheese, pumpkin puree, and 2 tsp. of cinnamon sugar just until melted
  • pour the mixture over the rolls evenly
  • bake at 350 for 45 minutes
  • remove from the oven and ONLY LET COOL 2-3 minutes!! THEN FLIP! If you wait too long to flip, then the cake will get stuck in the pan. Timing is everything.
  • heat up the icing from the packages of pumpkin rolls in a saucepan at low heat
  • pour the icing all over the monkey bread
  • SERVE and ENJOY!

Notes

  • Cooking time: I baked this for 45 minutes at 350 degrees in a Bundt Pan.
  • Greasing the baking dish: To ensure that the cake leaves the Bundt pan easily, you must generously grease the pan. First, I grease the entire inside of the pan with butter. Afterwards, I also spray with a little nonstick baking spray such as: Baker's Joy.
  • DON"T COOL: If you want the cake to easily slip out of the Bundt pan when you flip it you can only let it cool about 2-3 minutes. Timing is everything. Once the sticky sugar caramelizes the Cake is stuck forever! 😆
