YOU simply must bake this cream cheese monkey bread. It's gooey, delicious, and sure to put a smile on your face. Sweet cake lovers, this recipe should be right up your alley. It's got lots of cinnamon sugar and cream cheese, so you know it's going to be tasty. The best part? It's super easy to make. You literally just combine some ingredients, roll them up, and bake them. I'm all about simple recipes, and this one fits the bill perfectly.

So, how do you make cream cheese monkey bread? I'll tell you. Start by gathering your ingredients. You'll need some refrigerated flaky buttermilk biscuits, cream cheese, and cinnamon sugar. Once you have all your ingredients, you're ready to start baking!

The first step is to prepare the cinnamon sugar. In a medium bowl, combine 2/3 cup of dark brown sugar, 2/3 cup of granulated sugar, and 1 tablespoon of cinnamon. Set the cinnamon sugar aside.

Next, you'll need to cut the cream cheese into cubes. I used an 8-ounce block of cream cheese and cut it into 20 cubes.

Now it's time to slice the biscuits. You'll need two 12-ounce tubes of refrigerated flaky buttermilk biscuits. From each tube, slice 10 discs of dough. This will give you a total of 20 discs of dough.

The next step is to assemble the monkey bread. Place one cube of cream cheese in the center of each disc of dough. Then, wrap the edges of the dough up and around the cream cheese, making sure to seal the edges well.

Once you've assembled all of the monkey bread balls, it's time to bake them. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Then, spray a 12-cup bundt pan with cooking spray and place the monkey bread balls in the pan.

Bake the monkey bread for 40 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown. Once the monkey bread is done baking, invert it onto a serving platter and serve warm.

Enjoy this ooey-gooey treat!
