Ingredients

1 1/4 cups sugar
3 tablespoons finely chopped macadamia nuts
1 can (16.3 oz) Pillsbury™ Grands!™ Southern Homestyle refrigerated Southern Recipe biscuits (8 biscuits)
1/3 cup butter, melted
3 oz cream cheese, softened (from 8-oz package)
1 to 2 tablespoons pineapple juice
1/2 teaspoon coconut extract

Steps

1

Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 10-inch fluted tube pan with cooking spray. In 9-inch pie plate, mix 1 cup of the sugar and the macadamia nuts; set aside.
2

Separate dough into 8 biscuits. Cut each biscuit in half. Dip both sides of biscuit halves into melted butter; roll in sugar mixture to coat all sides. Place cut sides up in bottom of fluted tube pan. Sprinkle any remaining sugar mixture over biscuit halves.
3

Bake 25 to 35 minutes or until light golden brown. Cool 5 minutes; turn ring upside down onto serving plate; cool an additional 5 minutes.
4

Meanwhile, in small bowl, beat cream cheese and remaining 1/4 cup sugar with electric mixer on medium speed 30 to 45 seconds or until smooth. Beat in 1 tablespoon of the pineapple juice and the coconut extract; add additional pineapple juice, 1 teaspoon at a time, until thin enough to drizzle. Drizzle over hot pull-apart ring. Serve warm.
