These are my own creation. I took a year and a half of baking and pastry at CC, but I still like my short cuts every once and a while. These are wonderful and quite easy. They are kind of messy though. VERY rich!
Ingredients:
1 (18 1/4 ounce) box chocolate cake mix
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 egg
1/2 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup slivered toasted almond (optional)
8 ounces cream cheese
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon bourbon vanilla
1 egg
1 (20 ounce) can cherry pie filling
Directions:
1. Heat oven to 350°F.
2. Combine chocolate cake mix, butter and 1 egg. Once mixed through add the chocolate chips and toasted almonds. It will resemble cookie dough.
3. Line 12x 8x baking dish with dough. Bake for 8 minutes or until set, but not dark brown.
4. Cream together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, 1 egg and vanilla.
5. Pour cream cheese mixture over set crust and spread out evenly, but leaving a little room on the edges.
6. Bake for 35 minutes or until cream cheese mixture is set.
