Monkey Bread

Cinnamon Roll Monkey Bread

Prep Time: 15 min.
Bake Time: 35-40 min.
Servings: 12
Difficulty: Beginning

Caramel ice cream topping is the ingenious ingredient that gives this Monkey Bread recipe its warm and gooey greatness!

Ingredients

12 Rhodes Cinnamon Rolls or 6 Giant Cinnamon Rolls, thawed but still cold
1/3 cup butter, melted
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1/2 cup caramel ice cream topping

Instructions

Cut thawed Cinnamon Rolls into quarters or Giant Cinnamon Rolls into eighths. Reserve frosting for another use. Dip each roll piece into butter and roll in sugar. Arrange roll pieces in a sprayed bundt pan, alternately with pecans. Drizzle caramel topping over rolls. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise until double in size*.

Remove wrap and bake at 350 degrees F 35-40 minutes. Cover with foil the last 10 minutes of baking. Cool 1 minute and invert onto serving platter.

*If using Rhodes Anytime Cinnamon Rolls, they do not need to rise. Bake at 350 degrees F 25-30 minutes.

OVERNIGHT METHOD: Prepare recipe and cover with plastic wrap. Place your pan in the refrigerator overnight. Take the pan out of the refrigerator. Make sure dough does not exceed the top of the pan. You may need to let the product continue to rise slightly at room temperature. This is a great time to preheat your oven. Follow baking instructions.

    Can I use brown sugar instead of white sugar? If i Double the recipe, is the baking Temp and time the same? Does the ice cream topping replace the butterscotch pudding from the old recIpe? Thanks! KJm

      Thank you for your question! You can use brown sugar if you would like to. I would not double the recipe in the same pan. I would make 2 different pans. This recipe is similar to our Butterscotch Bubble loaf but this is a different recipe because it uses the Cinnamon Rolls not the dinner rolls. Both of these recipes are on our website wwwrhodesbakenserv.com. And there is a video there to help you!

        You are welcome to use the dark brown sugar. That sounds great!

    I made Monkey Bread with the dinner rolls and it turned out wonderful! Thank you for all your videos I really need the visuals. I am still trying to get your monkey bread again at my local Walmart.
    It goes fast I keep missing the window of opportunity they have. I guess I’ll have to talk to the management. They, Walmart grocery only on 2nd st. In el cajon, ca., has a tub cheese cake in there self with the cottage cheese and yogert, all you need is a can cherry pie filling and a premade gram cracker pie crust and “ola” you have the most deliscous cheese cake. You guys could probably do some tweets and I can’t wait to see what you come up with!
