Ingredients

2 cans of biscuits (I use grands flaky layer 8 count biscuits)

1/2 cup butter

Berry sugar

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1 tbsp ground cinnamon

1 bag freeze dried fruit (1.2 oz) - I used Trader Joe’s freeze dried berry medley

Caramel

1/4 cup brown sugar

3 tbsp unsalted butter

1 tsp pure vanilla extract

Pinch salt

Icing

2 oz cream cheese, room temp

2 tbsp water

1 tbsp melted butter

1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract

Pinch salt

1 1/2 cups confectioners sugar

Directions

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease fluted tube pan.

• In food processor, blend entire bag of freeze dried fruit. Pour through strainer to remove any leftover seeds so you get a fine powder.

• Use gallon bag or large bowl and mix together sugar, cinnamon and freeze dried fruit powder.

• Cut each biscuit into quarters and toss into the bowl or bag to coat each piece evenly in cinnamon sugar mixture.

• Add pieces into greased pan

• Melt half cup of butter and distribute over pieces in pan.

• For caramel sauce, heat brown sugar, salt and butter in saucepan over medium heat until sugar is melted. Once fully dissolved, remove from heat and stir in vanilla

• Pour caramel mixture over the pieces in the pan

• Bake for 35 mins, 40 if you like crispier edges

• While that’s baking, combine icing ingredients into bowl and blend with hand mixer until well combined

• Remove monkey bread from pan and flip onto platter

• While still slightly warm, drizzle icing over top

• Try not to eat the entire thing yourself
