Chocolate cheesecake monkey bread muffins
Monkey bread filled with chocolate and cream cheese. You can use refrigerated biscuits if you want, but I personally like biscuits that didn't come in a can, and using pizza dough allows it to get soft on the inside and crispy on the outside. No, this is not low calorie
Ingredients
-
1/2 pound pizza dough
-
8 ounces cream cheese, cold and cut into small cubes
-
1 stick (1/2 cup) salted butter

Break dough off into small pieces, and flatten them into about 2 inch circles with your hands. Add a cube of cream cheese and a few chocolate chips in the middle. Pinch edges to form a ball so chocolate and cream cheese are completely covered
