Time 1h10m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Nonstick cooking spray, for the bundt pan
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Three 10.2-ounce tubes refrigerated large biscuits
One 21-ounce can cherry pie filling
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
1/4 cup small fresh mint leaves

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a bundt pan with cooking spray.
  • Combine the sugar and cinnamon in a large resealable plastic bag. Separate the biscuits and cut each biscuit into 4 pieces. Put all the biscuit pieces into the bag with the sugar mixture and shake vigorously to coat.
  • Put the coated biscuit pieces in a large bowl. Reserve 1/3 cup of the cherry pie filling for garnish and add the rest to the bowl. Add the chocolate chips and melted butter and toss to mix well.
  • Transfer the biscuit mixture to the prepared pan, making sure it is evenly distributed. Bake the bread until the top is a deep golden brown and the center of the dough is cooked through, 40 to 45 minutes. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then invert it onto a platter. Garnish the top with the reserved cherries and mint leaves. Serve warm.

2 tsp cinnamon

Steps:

Tips:

  • Use fresh, ripe cherries for the best flavor. Frozen cherries can also be used, but they should be thawed and drained before using.
