fudge brownie cupcakes with cookie dough frosting.
Fudgy homemade brownie cupcakes with cookie dough frosting on top. One incredible dessert that you’ll want to make again and again! There’s also nothing like kicking off the summer with dense fudgy brownies, cupcakes, and cookie dough. Step aside bikini… These fudge brownie cupcakes are so chocolatey that your head will spin. They aren’t light and fluffy like regular cupcakes, nor are they as dense as brownies. Now, let’s move on to the frosting. I’m really just going to shut up with the blabber because… let’s face it, when you put a brownie & a cupcake & cookie dough together, there really are no words. Ingredients: Brownie Cupcakes 4 ounces unsweetened or bittersweet chocolate, chopped (I used Ghirardelli) 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, cut into cubes 1 and 1/4 cups (250g) granulated sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 3 large eggs 3/4 cup (94g) all-purpose flour 1/4 teaspoon salt Cookie Dough Frosting Directions: Preheat oven to 325F degrees.

Cheesecake Stuffed Strawberries. What? Yes! - SugarBlog - SugarDerby
Um... ok. Why didn't I think of this?!?!?! Of course you can hollow out a strawberry and stuff it full of cheesecake. Of course you can!!! And just in time for Valentine's Day... perfect excuse to make them! Cheesecake Stuffed Strawberries Here's what you need: About 20 strawberries... this was a little over one carton for me. 8 oz pkg softened cream cheese 1/2 cup powdered sugar 1/2 tsp vanilla 1 sleeve of graham crackers 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (optional) First you will want to wash the strawberries and cut off the tops. Now core them! A thin ended apple peeler.... And a small knife.... I liked the knife better! The easiest way to core the strawberries is to hold the entire berry in your hand (wrap your fingers around it) and literally just core out the center. Um... Now to make the filling.... Beat the cream cheese. Now to fill the strawberries!!! I didn't want to hurt my zip lock baggies feelings so I used one to crush the graham crackers in. Oh man.... these are so cute. So......
