Whether you’ll be having a barbeque or take out pizza for Dad’s big day, homemade desserts are always a great way for kids to show dad their love. Here is a recipe for Cream Cheese Cupcakes that will be a hit.
CREAM CHEESE CUPCAKES
2 8oz. packages of cream cheese ( I used Neufchatel)
2/3 C sugar
3 eggs
1 tsp almond extract
Vanilla wafers
1. Line muffin tins with paper liners. Set a vanilla wafer in the bottom of each.
2. Mix all other ingredients until smooth.
3. Fill cups and bake 25 minutes at 350 degrees F.
4. Chill overnight. You can eat them like this, or top with a variety of fruits such as crushed pineapple, strawberries, cherries. And, speaking of strawberries, it is peak season for these delicious bits of heaven. Make a few chocolate covered ones by: 1. Melting morsels in a microwave-safe dish for 60 seconds. 2. Stir and repeat for 30 second intervals until smooth. 3. Stir in 1/2 tsp of vegetable oil to make the mixture thin enough for dipping the berries into. 4. Hold the strawberry by the green cap and dip it into the chocolate mixture. 5. Set onto waxed paper and refrigerate until set.
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
Yum!
