Chunky Cinnamon Bites with Cream Cheese Icing







I don't recall where I got the recipe I made in 2011, but it was easy and a keeper. I've been working towards making the stuff I love vegan. I've renamed this because, like the first time, it doesn't really hold together well, so you don't need to pull it apart. The bites pull apart, though. 

Ingredients:
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 Tbsp ground cinnamon
16 oz refrigerated biscuits 
1/2 cup Earth Balance, melted and divided

4 oz Tofutti Better Than Cream Cheese
1/2 - 3/4 cup powdered sugar
1-2 Tbsp almond milk

Directions:

  1. Preheat over to 350.
  2. Separate biscuit dough into individual biscuits and cut each one into quarters.
  3. Mix cinnamon and sugar in a gallon zipper bag. Shake dough quarters in the cinnamon sugar by batches, until coated.
  4. Place half the biscuits in a greased 12-cup Bundt pan.
  5. Drizzle with half the melted butter (1/4 cup).
  6. Top with remaining biscuit quarters, and the remaining melted butter.
  7. Top off the unbaked biscuit pile with remaining cinnamon sugar mixture.
  8. Bake 40-45 minutes or until golden.
  9. While letting the cinnamon bites sit for 5 minutes in the bundt pan, make the icing.
  10. Icing: Beat softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until well blended. For a more tangy icing, use closer to 1/2 cup powdered sugar. For a sweeter icing, use 3/4 cup or more powdered sugar. 
  11. Add 1-2 Tbsp milk as necessary, beating until desired consistency is reached.
  12. Invert the bundt pan with cinnamon bites onto a plate. 
  13. Drizzle the icing over the warm loaf.



Notes:

  • I used Immaculate biscuits, as seen in the photo.
