Design Crush & Popsicles!

There’s a little something for everyone: the foodies, the purists, the ones who prefer frozen yogurt, the ones who prefer a little alcohol, everyone. Tweny-five options to be exact. The post I did last summer on the cold guys was one of DC’s most viewed ever, so I thought you’d all be up for another round – was I right? Click on the photo to be taken to the recipe.

Red Velvet Cheesecake Swirl Brownies. My sister loves red velvet.

Red Velvet Cheesecake Swirl Brownies

Me, I never cared for it. I’m not sure why – it’s basically chocolate, gussied up with a little food coloring to make it prettier. Whose idea was that? I mean, the adding of the food coloring? It serves no real purpose really, purely aesthetics. So perhaps I never cared for red velvet based on its mediocre attempts at being pretty versus tasty. Whatever. I’m getting over it, thanks to these brownies. No joke, I will be using this recipe from here on out. Think chewy. I am in LOVE. And hence, the red. Do it. Red Velvet Cheesecake Swirl Brownies Ingredients 10 Tablespoons butter 3 ounces dark or semisweet chocolate, chopped 1 1/4 cup sugar 2 large eggs 2 teaspoons vanilla Red Food Coloring (I used Wilton No-Taste Red) 3/4 cup All Purpose Flour 1/4 teaspoon salt 2 tablespoons Unsweetened Cocoa Powder For the Cheesecake Layer 8 ounces Cream Cheese, softened 1/3 cup sugar pinch salt 1 large egg 2 teaspoons vanilla Instructions Preheat oven to 350.

A lot of cake's that I have experimented with before are like a vanilla cake with bits of Oreo in them, which didn't really give them enough Oreo flavor. But these were a lot better. I used a dark chocolate fudge cake mix instead of just a regular chocolate cake mix, which went really well with the cookies and gave the cakes just a little more flavor. So, in this recipe there is Oreo's in the cake, in the frosting, and at the bottom is a Oreo surprise. That's right, you put a whole Oreo at the bottom of the cake. Ingredients 1 package Oreo Cookies, regular size 1 package Mini Oreo Cookies, for decoration (optional) 1 package chocolate cake mix (mix according to directions on box) 8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature 1/2 cup butter (1 stick), room temperature 3 3/4 cups powdered sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla extract cupcake liners Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
