Ingredients You’ll Need

• 1 can refrigerated biscuits (Pillsbury Grands or similar)
• 8 oz cream cheese, softened
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 6 tablespoons melted butter

How to Make Cream Cheese Biscuit Puffs

Step 1: Prepare the Filling

Take the block of cream cheese and cut it into squares. You should have 10 squares, one for each biscuit.

Step 2: Prepare the Butter and Cinnamon Sugar Mixture

Place the butter in a bowl and melt it in the microwave. In another bowl, combine the cinnamon and sugar. Set both bowls aside.

Step 3: Prep the Biscuits

Open the canned biscuits and separate them. Gently flatten each biscuit with your hands to create a small circle.

Step 4: Dip the Cream Cheese Squares

Take each square of cream cheese and dip it in the butter, and then roll it in the cinnamon sugar mixture.

Place each square in a biscuit and fold the sides up around the cream cheese to create a pocket. Place in a muffin tin. Drizzle the remaining butter over the biscuit puffs and sprinkle on the extra cinnamon and sugar mixture.

Step 5: Bake to Perfection

Bake at 350°F for 12–15 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.
Allow them to cool slightly — the inside will be warm and creamy.

Serving Suggestions for Cream Cheese Biscuit Puffs

These Cream Cheese biscuit puffs are amazing on their own, but you can also serve them with:

• Warm salted caramel sauce
• A drizzle of honey
• Creamy vanilla glaze
• Fresh berries

Pair them with coffee, and you’ve got a comforting, bakery-style breakfast in minutes.

Tips for Success

• Do not overfill, or the cream cheese may leak out while baking.
• Use smaller canned biscuits if you want more bite-sized puffs.
• Swap cinnamon sugar for pumpkin spice for a fall twist!

Storing & Reheating Cream Cheese Biscuit Puffs

Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer or oven at 300°F for a few minutes to restore their crisp, puffy texture.
