Happy Friday! Finally, the end of the week! Ready for a great weekend treat? I figured out a way I could keep cooking hygienically without my bandages freaking me out! A glove! NOTE: In the video of this recipe, the blue glove made my camera go orange, I apologize and know that for next time.
I believe they are also known as "crack sticks or rolls", I don't care for that name, so I call them cinnamon cream cheese sticks. Just as a side note! Let's get this party started...
You will need:
- 1, 8oz block of cream cheese at room temperature
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar (confectioners sugar, icing sugar)
- 1 loaf of white sandwich bread
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 3/4 cup butter, melted
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Flatten bread with a rolling pin. You can cut off the crusts or not, I have never and will never cut off a crust! Ok, I might but... In a bowl using a hand mixer combine cream cheese and powdered sugar until a smooth consistency is achieved. In a second bowl combine white granulated sugar and cinnamon, make sure it is also well mixed. In a third bowl, simply melt your butter.
Now spread some cream cheese on your piece of bread, roll it up like you would a jelly roll, the cream cheese will hold it together, dip in the butter, then cover in cinnamon sugar and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silpat. Do this until you are out of cream cheese, I would say anywhere from 10-14 rolls. Just depends on how generous you are with the cream cheese.
Bake for 20 minutes and prepare yourself for a little bit of heaven! Store in airtight container!
ENJOY!
At some point I will try these! Can they be made ahead and frozen?
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely they can be frozen. Take them out and refrigerate the night or morning before eating them! ENJOY!!
