Cream Cheese Brownies

cream cheese brownies header

I’m not sure if I’ve made it clear enough (although I think I have), but I love desserts. Chocolate desserts might be my favorite, and brownies are near the top of the list. Since its been a few weeks since our last dessert, the Southern Lane Cake, I think it’s time to do another. These cream cheese brownies were a great treat.

Cream Cheese Brownies

Here’s what Marguerite’s friend Susie Matha had to say:

Susie also gave us the Coffee Cake recipe, which is one of my favorite recipes I think we’ve done on Marguerite’s Cookbook. So when it came time to make these brownies, I was hopeful they would be as much of a success as the coffee cake. To be honest, these brownies didn’t quite live up to the coffee cake, but they were still tasty. It was fun to make brownies completely from scratch, and we enjoyed working on making each of the layers for this interesting brownie recipe.

Brownies Cream Cheese

The cream cheese brownies turned out really nice. They were soft and moist and had great flavor. Both the chocolate layers and cream cheese layers were delicious, and the two mixed together well to make a wonderful brownie. We both enjoyed these brownies, and they disappeared pretty fast. I’m sure we’ll be making these again!

Stuffed French Toast

Stuffed French Toast

 

I am not a fan of breakfast food. Ron Swanson, if he were a real person and not a character, would not like me. I generally find breakfast food to be way too heavy to consume that early in the morning and it makes me feel all kinds of sluggish. However, this stuffed french toast might inspire me to make an exception to my dislike of breakfast food.

Stuffed French Toast

Here is what Marguerite had to say:

Stuffed French Toast

It is very convenient that Marguerite wrote the dipping mixture in simple amounts so they can be multiplied for each serving you’re making.  While crushing the corn flakes was a little tedious, this whole recipe was simple to make.  Putting the layers of bread, cream cheese, jam, and corn flakes together took almost no time at all and then it was time for a delicious breakfast!

Stuffed French Toast

And a delicious breakfast it was!  Delicious and sweet, although sweet does not even begin to describe this stuffed french toast recipe. Seriously, it was like eating cake for breakfast.  I really enjoyed that the flavors of the french toast, the sweetness of the cream cheese and the jam, and the crunch of the corn flakes mixed together so well.

Aaron also really liked the stuffed french toast.  While he also thought they were sweet and were a nice combination of flavors, he enjoys sweet things more than I do.  He gobbled them up with his coffee and was very content afterwards.  If you would prefer a more simple french toast, you could just go for the plain dipped kind, it’s good on its own too!  Happy Breakfast-ing!
