Description

This blueberry monkey bread is soft, gooey, and bursting with fruity flavor—perfect for brunch, dessert, or holiday mornings.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cans (16.3 oz each) refrigerated biscuit dough

  • 1 cup granulated sugar

  • 8 oz cream cheese, cut into small cubes

  • 1 ½ cups fresh or frozen blueberries

  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted

  • 1 cup powdered sugar

  • 23 tablespoons milk (as needed for glaze)

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract


Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Generously grease your bundt pan with butter or nonstick spray to ensure an easy release later.

  • Cut the biscuit dough into quarters. You should have approximately 64 small pieces. In a large bowl, toss the dough pieces with granulated sugar until each is well coated.

  • Begin layering your monkey bread by placing half of the sugar-coated dough pieces into the bottom of the bundt pan.

  • Add half the cream cheese cubes and half the blueberries, distributing them evenly over the dough layer.

  • Repeat the layers with the remaining dough, cream cheese, and blueberries.

  • Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the entire top of the assembled monkey bread. This will help everything bake together and create a slightly crisp crust on top.

  • Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the dough is fully cooked and golden brown. Check for doneness by inserting a skewer or knife into the center—it should come out clean or with melted cheese, but no raw dough.

  • Cool for 10 minutes, then carefully invert the bundt pan onto a plate or serving platter. Let it rest a few minutes before lifting off the pan.

  • Prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract. Adjust the consistency by adding more milk, one teaspoon at a time, until pourable.

 

  • Drizzle the glaze generously over the warm monkey bread. Serve immediately for the best gooey, melt-in-your-mouth experience.

Notes

Blueberry monkey bread is best served warm and fresh from the oven, although it reheats beautifully too. Serve it with a side of whipped cream or vanilla yogurt for added richness. It pairs wonderfully with hot coffee, chai tea, or a tall glass of cold milk.

 

For brunch spreads, serve alongside savory egg dishes, fruit salad, and mimosas (non-alcoholic versions for family-friendly meals). It also works well as a dessert after a light lunch or dinner.
