So, Scott's Cousins are visiting from Ohio this week, and tonight we are hosting the inlaws and cousins for a BBQ (too bad it's only 60 degrees!) and we are in charge of the two most important parts of dinner.....the meat and the dessert.
I made brownies. See?
But this isn't just any pan of brownies. These are from the amazingly talented Jenny from Picky Palate .
Have you been to her website? So cute. and her recipes? So amazing looking. The best part? She makes most of them up. I. can't. do. that.
So I stole her recipe for Cookies and Cream Brownies with Chocolate Peanut Butter Ganache. See....not just any pan of brownies!
Look how shiny the Ganache is! I think it means I did it right! The recipe is simple, and it's semi homemade-using boxed brownie mix.
The cookies and cream part? It's cream cheese (I used neufatchel) mixed with sugar and oreos. I could have eaten just that for dessert! You can see a chunk here. Scott kindly obliged to eating a test piece so I could get a shot of the insides. Again, my cook book will be called "Ugly food that tastes good." You should have SEEN the mess I made making stir fry last night.
I didn't have a piece last night....but I did lick the spoon with the ganache on it.....who could have resisted. I'm so excited to have a piece of this tonight.
