I have been a little lazy lately, because money has been tight. I found a bag of frozen cranberries in the back of the freezer so I thought I'd make chicken with cranberry BBQ sauce as an experiment, but what to do with the leftover cranberries? This is what I came up with....
Cranberry Cheesecake Brownies
CRUST: One package cake style brownies, follow the directions.
TOPPING:
1 8 oz package cream cheese
1 tsp lemon juice
1 sm package instant vanilla pudding
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 lb frozen cranberries
1/4 cup milk or cream
- In the food processor combine frozen cranberries, sugar and lemon juice, puree
- add cream cheese, pudding and milk
- pure until it is almost sorbet consistency, refrigerate until brownies have cooled
- spread cranberry mixture on brownies, then serve with whipped cream or whipped topping.
See wasn't that easy?
My cranberry BBQ sauce was just as easy, I added some pureed cranberries & sugar to a sweet BBQ sauce, a little lemon, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, catchup, a little garlic powder, and anise seed and heated it all up then served it with my George Foreman grilled chicken, yum :)
