Never Think About What to Make for Dinner for the Next Two Months with My Lazy Cooking Bundle
Ingredients for Gorilla Bread
- 16 Pillsbury Cinnamon Rolls
- 1/2 cup of sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 8-ounces cream cheese, cubed into 16 pieces
- 4 ounces butter
- 1 cup walnuts
PRO TIP: You could also use Pillsbury Crescent Rolls for this recipe, but I love the flavor the cinnamon rolls add!
SUBSTITUTIONS: You could swap out the walnuts for pecans. You could also drizzle with chocolate if you’d like.
How to Make Gorilla Bread
STEP ONE: Slightly flatten (by hand or can use a rolling pin) each cinnamon roll from one can. Take one cube of cream cheese and put it in the center of the cinnamon roll and wrap the cinnamon roll around it and seal the edges of the cinnamon roll. Holding it in your hand and rolling it in a ball as you push any cream cheese into the ball helps.
STEP TWO: Prepare a large Bundt pan by coating it well with nonstick spray. Sprinkle ½ cup of the walnuts around the bottom of the pan.
STEP THREE: Place one layer of the stuffed cinnamon roll in the Bundt pan. Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup of walnuts over the first layer of cinnamon rolls.
STEP FOUR: In a small saucepan melt the butter along with the brown sugar and white sugar. Pour half of this melted butter/sugar over this first layer.
STEP FIVE: Repeat this process with the other can of cinnamon rolls and cubes of cream cheese. Pour the remaining melted butter/sugar mixture over this last layer.
Baking Gorilla Bread
STEP SIX: Bake 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Let it cool 5 minutes before placing a plate on top of the Bundt pan and inverting the gorilla bread onto the plate
PRO TIP: Take the metal lid off the icing and warm the icing tub in the microwave for 8-10 seconds until will drizzle. Drizzle over the entire bread or over individual servings.
