Outback Cappuccino Monkey Bread with Salted Caramel Drizzle

 

Embark on a culinary adventure in the Australian wilderness with this campfire treat! Merging classic monkey bread with Aussie-inspired ingredients, this treat is crowned with a salted caramel cappuccino glaze, perfect for sharing under the vast southern sky.

Ingredients:

For the Biscuit Dough:

• 2 cups plain flour
• 1 tbsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 cup cold butter, cubed
• 3/4 cup milk

For the Coating:

• 1/2 cup caster sugar
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1 tbsp cinnamon
• 1 tbsp Salted Caramel Cappuccino Mix

For the Glaze:

• 3 tbsp icing sugar
• 1 tbsp Salted Caramel Cappuccino Mix
• 1 tbsp milk (or try macadamia milk for an Aussie twist)

Instructions:

1. Make the Biscuit Dough: In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Rub in the cold butter using your fingertips until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Gradually add milk, mixing until you have a soft dough. Roll the dough into small balls about the size of a walnut.
2. Spread out 4-5 sheets of tin foil, each about 12-15 inches long. Give them a light spray with cooking oil.
3. Coat the Biscuits: Place the sugars, cinnamon, and cappuccino mix in a zip-top bag. Add in the dough balls. Seal and shake until each piece is well-coated.
4. Assemble: Arrange the coated dough balls on the prepared foil. Sprinkle some of the leftover coating mix over them and dot with small cubes of butter.
5. Campfire Cooking: Fold the foil into packets and seal tightly. Place on a grate over smouldering campfire coals, cooking for 20-25 minutes. Turn occasionally to ensure even cooking.
6. Prepare the Glaze: While your monkey bread bakes, whisk together the icing sugar, cappuccino mix, and milk in a bowl until smooth.
7. Serve: Open the foil packs carefully (watch for steam), drizzle with the glaze, and enjoy!

Campfire Tip: Add a sprinkle of crushed macadamia nuts before sealing the foil for that extra Aussie crunch!
