Cuisine: American
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cans refrigerated biscuit dough
- 1 cup strawberries, sliced
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tbsp milk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish thoroughly with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Open the refrigerated biscuit dough and separate each biscuit. Cut each biscuit into quarters to create bite-sized pieces.
- Wash and slice fresh strawberries into thin, uniform pieces. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine melted butter, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Whisk until the sugar begins to dissolve and the mixture is smooth.
- Gently fold the quartered biscuit dough pieces into the butter-sugar mixture, ensuring each piece is evenly coated.
- Layer half of the coated biscuit pieces into the prepared pie dish, creating an initial base layer.
- Sprinkle half of the sliced strawberries and chocolate chips over this first layer of biscuit pieces.
- Add the remaining coated biscuit pieces on top, creating a second layer.
- Distribute the remaining strawberries and chocolate chips across the top layer.
- Place the pie dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the biscuit pieces are cooked through.
- While the pie is baking, prepare the glaze by mixing powdered sugar and milk in a small bowl until smooth and drizzling consistency is achieved.
- Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes at room temperature.
- Drizzle the prepared powdered sugar glaze over the warm monkey bread pie.
- Serve warm, allowing guests to pull apart the delicious, sticky pieces of monkey bread.
Tips
- Temperature Matters: Ensure your butter is truly melted and your oven is fully preheated for even cooking.
- Strawberry Secret: Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the most intense flavor. If they're slightly soft, they'll caramelize beautifully during baking.
- Chocolate Hack: Use high-quality chocolate chips for a more luxurious taste. Mix milk and dark chocolate for added depth.
- Coating Technique: When mixing biscuit pieces with butter and sugar, use a gentle folding motion to ensure even coverage without breaking the dough.
- Glaze Game: Let the pie cool slightly before drizzling the glaze to prevent it from completely melting away.
- Serving Suggestion: This dessert is best served warm, so time your baking to coincide with dessert time.
- Make-Ahead Tip: You can prepare the pie up to the baking stage and refrigerate for a few hours before baking for maximum convenience.
