Buttery caramel, and crunchy pecans make this sticky, sweet, and oh so delicious caramel pecan monkey bread a fantastic way to start the day. Pair it with a Florida Orange Juice smoothie for a perfect morning.

The perfect morning to me is the family gathered around the table, the sink empty of prep dishes, and a fast, but delicious food on the table.  I mean who wants to do a ton of dishes first thing? Not this mama. With the Pepperidge Farms Sweet Rolls I get all of that and more. These large sweet rolls are made with real cinnamon and are perfect to serve in the morning as is, or in a fun recipe like the one I am going to share with you.

Mr. EZPZ works a lot of nights, so mornings are when we get to spend some time together, so I love when we can do that over something delicious like this caramel pecan monkey bread and OJ Smoothie! I am a huge smoothie lover, and pretty much make one every single day. (Watch my video about smoothie making here.) And I love juice smoothies!

orange julius copy #pepperridgeI have always loved smoothies. In fact, when I was in high school I got a job at Orange Julius in the mall. My dad worked in an office building in downtown, and the mall was right across the street. I thought it would be cool to work close to him and we could ride into work together. Well…it was a mess. My schedule was not 8-6 like his. And I did not have a car. So if I went in to work with him I would then have 4-5 hours of doing nothing before or after my job started. I could ride the bus in, but then I spent those same 4-5 hours on the bus. So I worked a grand total of 2 days before my Dad asked me to quit! (He was worried about me spending copious hours alone in a city) I was so bummed because I loved their smoothies and wanted to get them for free. But the shirt I had to wear was really horrid, so thanks Dad! Haha. Anyway, now I just make them myself.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Florida Orange Juice
  • 1 cup frozen mango chunks
  • 1 cup frozen mixed fruit
  • 1/2 a banana
  • 3- 15.8 ounce cans Pepperidge Farms Pecan Caramel Sweet Rolls
  • 1/2 cup melted butter
  • 2/3 cup brown sugar

Toppings

  • 4 ounces cream cheese
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/3 tsp lemon juice

Instructions

  • Put everything in blender and blend it up!
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F
  • Spray bundt pan with no stick spray
  • Open the 3 cans of Pepperidge Farms Pecan Caramel Sweet Rolls, remove the sauce and the chopped pecans, set aside
  • Melt butter and stir in brown sugar, then add in the three packets of sauce that came with the rolls
  • Cut each roll into four to six pieces, and layer them into the bundt pan
  • When you have put about half the roll pieces in, sprinkle with 1 of the packets of pecans, and half the sauce mixture
  • Layer the other half, sprinkle on another packet of pecan, and the other half the sauce mixture
  • Bake 23-28 minutes (Every oven is a bit different, base cooking time on your oven, and adjust accordingly. This temperature and time worked perfectly for me)
  • Remove from oven, let cool 3-5 minutes
  • Flip over on to serving tray.
  • Mix together topping ingredients, and spoon over top, cake is still a little hot so it should get melty, if not, feel free to return to oven for 3-5 minutes!
  • Enjoy

Notes

*Package directions say to cook at 375 degrees. However, for this monkey bread there is a longer cooking time at a cooler temperature. Test for doneness, and return to oven for extra time if you feel it is not done after the allotted time period.

I am not the only one in my family who loved this creation. My youngest sat on my lap and kept saying, “More peeeez”! She loved the bite sized pieces and kept dipping them in the ooey, gooey carmel that was running out onto the platter! She knows what’s up.

Anyway, let me just say this is yum, and I totally recommend it. Plus when I was at Walmart picking up all the ingredients I needed there was a tear pad coupon by the 100% Florida Orange Juice, for $1 off when you buy both 100% Florida OJ and Pepperidge Farm Sweet Rolls, so look for that while you shop because saving money is always nice!

    did I miss it? Sorry, but the toppings directions was not there. I guess just mix all ingredients together and top it off! It looked melted so I was wondering if it was cooked or melted! Thanks!

      Nope, you did not miss it, I did. I have updated the recipe. I am so sorry for the oversight. Eeek. Not my best. I put the topping on while the cake was hot so it would melt!

    I followed your instructions to the tee. Unfortunatley, I took it out of the oven when you suggested and let it cool. I turned it onto the plate and it fell into little pieces obviously not cooked. I noticed the sweet roll instructions said bake at 375 not the 350 you suggested. Perhaps I should have baked it longer than the time you suggested. I was very disappointed.

      I am so sorry to hear that! I just checked my notes and I have the recipe as I wrote it. Unfortunately every oven and altitude is different. I should have notated that. I also realize that I had just gotten a new element, so there is a good chance it runs a little hot. I will adjust the recipe to reflect that. Again, I am so sorry it did not turn out for you.
