How to Make Cream Cheese Muffin Puffs

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Melt 1/4 cup (57g) of margarine in a microwave-safe bowl.
  3. Cut 8 ounces (227g) of cream cheese into 10 equal-sized cubes.
  4. In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  5. Add 1/4 teaspoon of your choice of jam (strawberry or blueberry) to each cream cheese cube before proceeding to the next step.
  6. Dip each cream cheese cube in the sugar mixture, ensuring it's evenly coated.
  7. Place one coated cream cheese cube in the center of each of 10 refrigerated biscuits (any brand will work).
  8. Fold the biscuit dough over the cream cheese, pinching the edges to seal tightly.
  9. Roll each filled biscuit into a ball.
  10. Dip each dough ball into the melted margarine, then roll again in the sugar-cinnamon mixture.
  11. Place the dough balls, seam-side down, in an ungreased muffin tin.
  12. Bake for 12-18 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
