Pillsbury Cinnamon Rolls

Ingredients

1 package (8 oz) cream cheese
2 cans (17.5 oz) refrigerated Pillsbury™ Grands!™ Flaky Cinnamon Rolls with Original Icing (5 Count)
1/4 cup butter, cut into pieces

Steps

1

Heat oven to 350° F. Grease 12-cup fluted tube cake pan with shortening or cooking spray.
2

Cut block of cream cheese in half lengthwise, then cut each half in 4 rows by 3 rows to form 24 equal cubes.
3

Set aside icing from cinnamon rolls. Separate each can of dough into 5 rolls; unroll each roll, and cut each in half.
4

Take one section of dough and fold it over to form a rectangle shape. Place a square of cream cheese on the dough; fold over the dough, and gently crimp it around the cream cheese. Repeat with remaining dough pieces (you will have four leftover pieces of cream cheese).
5

Place cream cheese-filled dough balls in pan. Place butter pieces evenly on top.
6

Bake 40 to 45 minutes or until deep golden brown on top. Cool 10 minutes; run knife around edge of pan to loosen. Place heatproof serving plate over pan and turn over; remove pan. Cool 10 minutes.
7

Drizzle reserved icing over top of bread, allowing some to drizzle down sides. Pull apart to serve; serve warm.

Store any leftover monkey bread covered in the refrigerator.
For an even sweeter monkey bread, roll each cube of cream cheese in brown sugar before rolling into dough.
Stir the leftover cubes of cream cheese into the icing until smooth before drizzling over the monkey bread for even more cream cheese flavor.
