Raspberry Cheesecake Brownies

**found in August 2010 Cooking Light

Since the idea of baking right now is almost impossible, I toy with all of my favorite recipe tears.  My day job is a career as a designer in the fashion industry, and right now it's demanding, so it's left me no time to bake.  Sad face.  So for now while I work in crunch mode, I occasionally go through my binders of recipes and pull out the ones that look mouth watering.  I'm keeping these on the side until I really can get back to my baking roots.  

In the meantime, you, my readers should not suffer!  I will still spread the GF recipe love, fear not.  

Here come a slew of desserts.  Yesterday was Summer Love and today is Dessert Love...right in time for our wondering Thanksgiving Holiday.  Colored leaves dust the driveway, while trick-or-treater's ring your doorbell...nostalgia for the winter coat, bundled up with scarves and gloves.  Frost on your face from the weather being so cold, and a nice warm fireplace to warm you up...


Filling:
1/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup (3 ounces) 1/3-less-fat cream cheese, softened
2 tsp. GF all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp. gf pure vanilla extract
1 large egg white

Brownies:
gf cooking spray (try PAM (but not the baking spray)
3.4 ounces gf all-purpose flour (about 3/4 cup)
1/4 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. xanthan gum
1/8 tsp. salt
1 cup sugar
2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa (make sure it is gluten-free as some are not)
1/4 cup butter, melted
1 tbsp. water
1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
1 large egg
2 large egg whites
3 tbsp. raspberry preserves

1.  Preheat oven to 350 degrees
2. To prepare filling, place first 5 ingredients in a large bowl; beat with a mixer at medium speed until well blended.  Set aside.
3. To prepare brownies, coat the bottom of an 8-inch square pan with cooking spray (do not coat the sides of the pan)
Weigh or lightly spoon 3.4 ounces (about 3/4 cup) flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife.  Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl.  Combine 1 cup sugar and next 6 ingredients (through 2 egg whites), stirring well with a whisk.  Add to flour mixture, stirring just until moist.  Spread two-thirds of batter in bottom of prepared pan.  Pour filling over batter, spreading evenly. Carefully drop the remaining batter and preserves by spoonfuls over filling; swirl together using the tip of a knife to marble.  Bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean.  Cool on a wire rack.  
Yield: 16 servings

**Remember!  Baking gluten free takes less time then "gluten" baked goods.  So although this recipe calls for 40 minutes in the over , you may want to check at 20 with a toothpick, then at 30 and so forth.

Not All Advil Is Gluten-Free!!!

After last night's POST , GF Advil was on my mind and I decided to call Advil/Pfizer this morning to get some more clarification.  In response to my post last night I advised through the website that Advil Liqui-gels, Advil Migraine and Advil Liqui-Gels PM contain a wheat derivative.  After my phone call with a lovely representative I received more information. - ALL ADVIL LIQUI-GELS contain a wheat derivative .   ALL LIQUI-GELS.  So stop these immediately if you are taking the Liqui-gels.  You maybe getting sick from a medication rather then a food and this is so important to recognize!  Just steer clear of Liqui-Gels. -ALL FORMS OF ADVIL MIGRAINE contain gluten .  There is no further information if it is just the Liqui-Gels or the Tablets, Caplets and Gel-Caps.  Pfizer does not have this info therefore they informed me to steer clear of all Advil Migraine pills. Here is what IS GLUTEN-FREE FROM ADVIL: All Advil Tablets, Gel...

Hot Chocolate Coffee

Sometimes I feel like there are days only chocolate would understand.  And following a strict Paleo diet does not allot for chocolate eating.  Especially chocolate with added dried cane sugar.  And especially in abundance.  Of course special occasions allot for this type of activity, but today is not that day. So how do you put a sock in your chocolate craving?  Well, simply remove your sock from your foot and put it in your chocolate.  I'm kidding!  Please use a clean sock! Kidding again!!… Often, chocolate cravings can get the best of us, so I created a delicious recipe to kick my craving and your craving.  It's delicious.  And it's perfect for the lover of coffee and chocolate.  Taking a sip of this sent signals of pure decadence to my brain.

Magnolia Bakery-Cream Cheese Frosting

Another amazing frosting recipe from Magnolia!  I swear by these recipes, this is my go-to book for icing when I bake!! 1 pound (two 8-ounce packages) cream cheese, softened and cut into small pieces 6 tbsp. unsalted butter, softened and cut into small pieces 1 1/2 tsp. pure vanilla extract 5 cups sifted confectioners' sugar In a large bowl, on the medium speed of an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese and butter until smooth, about 3 minutes.  Add the vanilla and beat well.  Gradually add the sugar, 1 cup at a time, beating continuously until smooth and creamy.  Cover and refrigerate icing for 2-3 hours, but no longer, to thicken before using. Makes enough for one 2-or 3-layer 9-inch cake Enjoy! xoxo Julie www.goodiegoodiegluten-free.blogspot.com
