Dessert – try Cheesecake Brownies. These are simple and sooo good.

Prepare the brownie mix as directed by manufacturer. Preheat oven to temperature indicated on box. Grease a 9×13 inch pan.

Spread the brownie batter evenly into the prepared pan. Using an electric mixer, beat together the cream cheese, egg and sugar until smooth. Dollop the cream cheese mixture on top of the brownie batter. Swirl together using a knife or skewer.

I make this dip all the time. Use a glass pie plate. Spread a bar of cream cheese evenly on the bottom then spread a can of hormel no bean chilli on top then cover the top in nacho shredded cheese. Put in the oven until you start to smell it, about 20 minutes. Then serve with tostitos!!

For a dessert you can make a fruit salsa. cut up apples, kiwi and any other season fruits real fine then mix together with a 1/4 cup of sugar then serve with graham crackers.

This is really awesome. I made it for Thanksgiving, new Year’s and I’m making it Sunday too. I add more jalapeno’s and serve it with tortilla chips.

Jalapeño Popper Dip
2- 8 ounce packages cream cheese, room temp
1 cup mayonnaise
1 cup shredded Mexican blend cheese
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
1- 4 ounce can chopped green chilies
1- 4 ounce can sliced jalapeños- double if you like heat

1 cup panko bread crumbs
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
1/2 stick butter, melted

In a food processor add the first 6 ingredients and process until smooth. You do not need to drain either can of peppers. Spread the dip into a greased 2 quart casserole. In a bowl mix bread crumbs and the other 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese. Pour melted butter over top crumb mixture and mix well. Sprinkle crumb mixture evenly over the dip and bake in a 375° oven for about 20 minutes. You want the top to get browned and the dip to be heated through and bubble gently on the edges. Do not over heat this dish or the mayonnaise with separate and you will have a grease puddle in your dip. Serve with Buttery crackers or a sliced French baguette. Serves 8-10.

Easy to hold too. Serve with a chocolate dipping sauce or something like that.
Simple to make, awesome flavor. Blueberries and cream cheese in an egg rolls wrapper, with powdered sugar on top. This turned out so well that I am posting it to make again later. I used frozen blueberries, but I’m sure fresh would work as well, or perhaps some other fruit, or a small amount of canned pie filling. This is easy to put together, the instructions are long because I tried to explain how to wrap an egg roll.

8 egg roll wraps
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
3/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla flavoring
40 blueberries (about 2/3 cup, depending on size)
oil (for frying)

Directions
Cream the cream cheese with the sugar and vanilla. This works best if the cream cheese is softened, but the mixture will need to be chilled before using as a filling.
Before you begin preparing your rolls, turn the heat on the oil to 350* F. I use a fry pot with a temperature gauge that holds the temp of the oil.
Place an egg roll wrapper on the counter so you are looking at a diamond. Place 1/8 of the chilled filling in a rectangle between the two side corners, leaving enough space for the corners to be folded over. (I hope that makes sense, see the photos if it doesn’t.) Place 4-5 blueberries on top of the cream cheese mixture.
Fold up the bottom corner of the wrapper, over the filling. Fold the two side corners over the filling as well. Roll away from you, and moisten the top corner to seal. (I dab my finger in a cup of water, and touch the top corner before I begin rolling.).
Fry 3-4 at a time, allowing the oil to return to temperature between batches. Fry for 1 minute on the first side, flip and fry for 30 seconds more, until barely golden. The cream cheese filling will become liquid of you leave it in too long. Immediately dust with powdered sugar, and allow to rest 5-10 minutes before serving.
