Cream Cheese + brownie?  PERFECT COMBO!!!!  I first discovered this recipe in the Good Housekeeping Desserts book.  Super easy to make, especially if you use a store-bought brownie mix.  I love the marbled pattern, too!

You will need:

  • Packaged chocolate fudge brownie mix and required ingredients
  • 1 pckg cream cheese (8 oz)
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

How to:

  • Pre-heat the oven to 325 F and grease a 9×13 baking pan thoroughly
  • Prepare brownie batter as per package instructions
  • Combine the cream cheese, sugar, egg and vanilla extract; blend on medium speed with electric mixer
  • Pour 2/3rd of the brownie batter into the baking pan and smooth all over the bottom of the pan. Dot with large spoonfuls of the cream cheese mixture on top. Spoon the remaining brownie batter in between. Run a fork or knife through them in a swirl pattern to create a marbled effect (as displayed in the photo below)
  • Bake for 28-30 minutes
  • Cool completely and enjoy!

Note:  Unlike your conventional brownies, this dessert will not keep at room temperature because of the cream cheese

Such pretty swirls, right?  If you are a serious cheesecake lover, there is an alternative recipe made by adding a generous layer of cheesecake batter on top of the brownie batter.  If following the alternative recipe, remember to double the cream cheese mix.  Easy to make and great for the holidays!

Miami: The Restaurant at The Setai

A few weeks ago, I had a super short, fab visit to Miami.  I love checking out the see-and-be-seen hot spots in Miami- especially the places that involve FOOD!!!  This past trip, we dined at “The Restaurant” in the hotel Setai, South Beach and ohemgee…TO DIE!!!  The Asian/Indian fusion menu sounds as mouth watering as it is.  Nevertheless, I readily indulged in their miso black cod and the outcome was delish.  I’m craving to go back but until my next Miami adventure, here are a couple of pictures I’d like to share with you.  Xo

Pineapple fried rice.  It didn’t stand a chance!

Everyone knows I have a MAYJAH sweet tooth that needs to be satisfied on a daily basis.    One of my favourite dessert boutique restaurants/lounges in Toronto is “Moroco Chocolat“.  From the Alice in Wonderland themed decor to the sinfully sweet selection of technicolour macarons and velvety Valrhona chocolate, this is heaven on Earth for me!  How amazinggg does this Tiramisu look (it was delish)?  I’m anxious to go back for High Tea!

Here are a few more photos I pulled from Google…

Have a sinfully sweet day! Xo
