my flavour of the month...or has that been a few months already?

been baking a lot of late and this is the flavour of the month, haha to be honest, it has been the flavour of the month since before eid - my chocolate brownies with orange cream cheese frosting, so that means it has reigned as the flavour of the month three or four months in a row already ever since i discovered and actually tried baking it.


it is really chocolatey, because i mix semi sweet chocolate with bitter sweet ones when i bake it, and when it is topped with the cream cheese that has got all the orange zest in it, my my, it is pure heaven...

there is a way to eating it as well... you have to cut them into small pieces in order to taste and appreciate it. you cannot eat a big piece at one go because then the chocolate and sweetness would overwhelm you too much that you may not be able to appreciate it fully. following me yet? or getting confused?


friends and family alike thought i was being a bit too stingy when cutting up the brownies but i explained that that is how they need to eat this brownies of mine and after taking a bite of it, they fully understood what i meant. and never has pieces of brownies dissappeared in matters of minutes before this.

i have also been receiving quite a number of orders for my brownies with the topping, apart from my chocolate cheese brownies and my usual walnut brownies. i have been baking the chocolate cheese ones quite a fair bit as this particular one has its own following. the boys don't quite favour this.  they like it but then again, they can do with the other brownies more than this.  most adults i know love this as it has cream cheese swirled in the chocolate and it is pretty sinful i must add.

my walnut brownies remains an all-time favourite as it goes well with vanilla ice-cream, and those who love nuts are all nutty about it for the walnuts it contains. the chopped chocolates that i mix in is what makes it sinful though and it is even more sinful when the chocolate chunks oozes as you bite into it.  must remind self to get a picture of my walnut brownies one of these days.

anyway, for now at least, the heavenly sinful chocolatey brownies of mine, the one with that zesty orange cream cheese frosting remain my flavour of the month. the boys have been nagging me to bake it and not have any frosting on top. i keep telling them it is the combination of the brownies and topping that makes it a brownie to die for but... i also promised them i will bake one really soon and exclude the topping. anything to keep my boys happy... for now i am content on keeping this as my flavour of the month, despite the fact that it has been for a number of months already. until something else come along... and knock it off the top spot.

pure heaven...
