These Lemon Cheesecake Biscuit Bombs are the perfect super easy, super delicious dessert for my fellow lemon lovers! They start with prepared biscuit dough and come together quickly with no fuss!
Author:
Serves: 8
Ingredients
  • 1 can (8-count/16.3 ounces) Pillsbury Grands! Biscuits or similar product
  • 1 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 12 shortbread cookies, crushed
  • 1 egg
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon lemon extract, divided
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • zest of 1 lemon for topping (optional)
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 9-inch round cake pan with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. In a large bowl, mix cream cheese, sugar, crushed shortbread cookies, egg, and 1 teaspoon lemon extract together until combined. Place this in the fridge for about 20 minutes (I use this time to unroll and flatten biscuits).
  3. Unroll and flatten each biscuit. Place about 1 tablespoon of cream cheese mixture in the center, and pinch together the edges of the biscuit to conceal (sometimes this is hard to completely seal and a little messy. Don’t worry. Try your best and then plop them opening side down and they’ll bake up lovely!). Place in prepared pan with the seam down.
  4. Bake 20-25 minutes, or until deeply golden brown (let them get pretty dark on top to ensure they’re cooked all the way through). Cool at least 10 minutes before icing and/or serving.
  5. To make icing: whisk powdered sugar, 1/2 teaspoon lemon extract, and lemon juice together to a pourable consistency. Pour over buns and top with lemon zest. Serve warm.
  6. Store loosely covered in fridge for up to 2 days.

    Julie, I have followed your blog since pre-marriage days, since before San Diego. You are such a GREAT cook, a talented writer and a goal driven teacher. Bless you, once again, for sharing your heart and the hard stuff. Darkness is all around us but when I cook your recipes (the skillet cakes!) or read your blog, I am filled with light and hope. Please keep up doing what you are doing. We are reading and benefitting GREATLY from your wit, intellect, and sensitivity. Xoxo.

    Your posts are like a cool refreshing gulp of water when parched by the surrounding desert of dishonesty. You share your luscious recipes and, even more, your servant-leader’s heart. Bless you.

    Your lemon cheesecake morning buns (maybe these bombs are the offspring?!?) have gotten our family through many a rough stretch! Thanks for using your gifts to encourage those around you – even in the bloggy world 🙂

    Thanks again for being so vulnerable and wonderful. Your blog is one of the safest and yet most inspiring spots on the internet. There are few places where it feels so necessary, human and safe for me to be pushed out of my comfort zone. I originally came here for the recipes, but I’ve stayed for the thoughtfulness, kindness, humanity, and relatability. Thanks for continuing to share yourself (and your delightful treats/photography).
