"The only way cheese is dessert is when it is followed by the word cake. " -Michele Gorman, Single in the City It's hard to argue with that kind of logic, Michele! So I hope you are not quite sick of all the sweet posts of late. I promise something savory is on the way, and just in time for Thanksgiving, too! But for now, how about a pan of Cheesecake Swirl Brownies? In fact, any chocoholics on your Thanksgiving guest list will really thank you for thinking of them by having a plate of these for dessert (as opposed to some sweetened vegetable pie- really now). So to start off with you need to make these brownies. I have never tried the cream cheese version with the almond flour version, so can't attest to the results, but the all-purpose or gluten free flour version will definitely work. Once you get the brownie batter in the pan, then get to work on the cheesecake part. Have all the ingredients at room temperature so it will come together quickly. Cheesecake Swirl Batter -enough to swirl through 1-9x13" pan of brownies 8 ounces cream cheese, preferably Kraft Philadelphia brand 1/4 cup granulated sugar 2 egg yolks 3/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract 1. Combine all ingredients in a bowl with a whisk. Beat until smooth-ish. 2. Transfer cream cheese mixture to a piping bag or a gallon ziploc bag. Twist to close or seal. Cut off about 1/2 inch at the tip or corner. 3. Inserting tip of bag slightly into brownie batter, pipe evenly spaced rows of cream cheese mixture horizontally across short edge of the pan. 4. Using a toothpick, wooden skewer or tip of a very thin bladed knife, draw the tip through the rows in one direction and then in the alternate direction and so on until a beautiful chevron design is throughout batter. 5. Bake in a preheated 325 degree F oven for approximately 40-50 minutes until brownie is done (moist crumbs are on toothpick inserted in center (do not over-bake).. 6. Let cool completely before cutting into squares. Store in airtight container in refrigerator for up to a week. Happy baking! Be sure to share! ; ) ♥
