Pumpkin cheesecake brownies
If the headline got your attention, then you'll know how I felt when I saw someone from Herrin High School post a Facebook status about baking these delicious desserts two days ago.
Lucky for me (and you), she has a food blog where she posted the recipe. So, check out the Red Kitchen Project and make some for yourself!
I ran across a stack of pumpkin in the baking aisle just last week. Recalling the pumpkin shortage of 2009, I immediately added two cans to my cart even though I didn't know what I'd make with them. So, the only ingredient I had to pick up last night was cream cheese, and then I was all set.
These were delicious. I brought them to work, and they quickly disappeared. Learn from my mistakes, though. Even though Gracie noted that you might want to not use all the pumpkin, I started piling it in — then didn't think I had enough chocolate. So I mixed up an additional half batch of chocolate brownie mix. After all that, I had SO MUCH batter that I had to bake them for 45 minutes before the center was done. And, of course, at that point the top edges had turned a little brown. So, I recommend less batter for more consistent baking. However, the brown edges didn't dissuade my co-workers.
