Ingredients

For the Dough

3 tubes Grands Southern Homestyle Butter Tastin’ Biscuits The base for this strawberry monkey bread, creating a soft and fluffy texture.
1/2 cup Unsalted Butter Coats biscuit pieces for richness; can use salted but reduce other salts in the recipe.
1/2 cup Granulated Sugar For coating; adds sweetness and a sugary crust; try cinnamon sugar for an extra kick.

For the Strawberries

2 cups Strawberries Fresh chopped strawberries macerated with sugar and vanilla; frozen berries work in a pinch.
1/4 cup Granulated Sugar Helps release the strawberries' juices for maceration; adjust based on their sweetness.
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Enhances strawberry flavor; no substitute required.

For the Frosting

8 oz Cream Cheese Ensure it's at room temperature for smooth mixing.
1 cup Powdered Sugar Sweetens the frosting; taste and adjust as preferred.
