Ingredients

Instructions

  • Step 
    1
    In 1-quart saucepan, mix guava paste and water. Heat to boiling over high heat; reduce heat, and simmer 3 to 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until guava paste dissolves and sauce is smooth. Remove from heat.
  • Step 
    2
    Meanwhile, heat oven to 350°F. Generously grease 12-cup fluted tube cake pan with butter or cooking spray. In 1-gallon resealable food-storage plastic bag, mix sugar and cinnamon.
  • Step 
    3
    Separate dough into 16 biscuits; cut each into quarters. Press each biscuit piece out to 1/4-inch thickness. Top each piece with about 3/4 teaspoon of the cream cheese spread. Fold edges of dough up around cream cheese spread, and pinch to seal.
  • Step 
    4
    Add cheese-filled biscuit pieces to bag; shake in bag to coat. Arrange in pan. Sprinkle any remaining sugar over biscuits.
  • Step 
    5
    In small bowl, mix butter and brown sugar; pour over biscuit pieces.
  • Step 
    6
    Bake 38 to 43 minutes or until golden brown and no longer doughy in center. Loosen from edges of pan with metal spatula. Cool in pan 10 minutes. Turn upside-down onto serving plate, replacing any biscuit pieces and caramel from pan.
  • Step 
    7
    Pour guava sauce over monkey bread. Pull apart to serve. Serve warm.
