Cheesecake Brownies, from David Lebovitz
Tea and Spice Bars, from the King Arthur Flour Cookie Companion
I am going to be out of town for work this week, so I had to do my cooking early. I am continuing to browse through the recipes on David Lebovitz' excellent blog, this time with a cheesecake brownie. Yum. These are rich, so cut small pieces if you make the recipe!
Two weeks ago, I made a fruit and nut bar recipe that was very well received, so I am doing a different variation on that theme again this week. The tea and spice bars have a lot more dried fruit in them than they have either tea or spice, but they don't get credit in the title - chalk it up to a bad agent, I guess. Anyway, in this bar, the dried fruits (I used raisins, apricots, sour cherries and cranberries) are steeped in tea, and then pureed before being added to the mixture. So the bars don't have the identifiable fruit in them that the last ones did. Many similar ingredients, very different result. These look more like cakey bars, with a very simple glaze on top.
Enjoy!
