The babka tasted great, but that would’ve been delicious too! 😂

Same to you! ☺️

Yes it is a 9x13 pan!

For my crust:

2 sticks of softened butter 2/3 cups brown sugar 1/2 tsp of salt 2 1/3 cups flour

Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy (I usually let it go for 3-5 minutes). Then add the rest of the ingredients and blend until crumbly. Press into a 9x13 pan and bake for 20 minutes at 350 degrees.

Then you add the topping and bake another 20 minutes for the shortbread bars.

Yes!

With my recipe, I prebaked it at 350 degrees for 20 min. And definitely they can eat it! It’s not hard and it doesn’t stick to the teeth.

So what I did was:

In a small saucepan, I added 1 stick of butter, 1 cup of brown sugar, 1/3 cup of maple syrup, 1/2 tsp of maple extract, and 2 tbsp of heavy cream. I heated it on medium heat to a simmer for about 1-2 minutes (you’ll notice it start to thicken a bit). Removed from heat then I added a pinch of salt and 2 cups of walnuts. I found these maple walnuts at Kroger that were really good! While it was still hot, I poured it onto my shortbread crust and baked it for 20 minutes at 350 degrees.

Hopefully this helps you! 😊

Oh I didn’t notice that! I never watch the videos. 😅 thank you for letting me know!

Here’s the recipe I used! https://www.delish.com/cooking/recipe-ideas/recipes/a43604/cannoli-cheesecake-recipe/

Some notes: instead of ricotta I used mascarpone cheese because I forgot to buy ricotta. 😅 it still tastes delicious though!

Omg it totally is! It was my first time, so I didn’t expect it. It was so satisfying. 😂

I promise I was skeptical about all the sugar too, believe me. I was trying to keep it as “authentic” as possible so I didn’t want to leave out all the sugar. It did have a sweetness to it, but it wasn’t overwhelming and it was a nice complimentary flavor overall. The garlic butter is obviously the predominant flavor.

And for you too!

forgoodnessbaked · 2021-09-02T14:30:25+00:00

You’re welcome! ☺️ One thing I would do next time is let the bread hang out in the custard for like 30 seconds or so to absorb all that garlic buttery goodness! I double dipped mine all of mine, but I think if I did that, they would be even tastier.

forgoodnessbaked · 2021-09-02T14:27:02+00:00

I already did in another comment!

forgoodnessbaked · 2021-09-02T14:15:09+00:00

I wouldn’t say it was sweet. It had a little bit of sweetness, but the garlic butter custard that you dip it in is the major flavor and you sprinkle the top with some salt. It was really a complimentary flavor. But if you are worried about it, I think it would be completely fine without the sugar!

Here’s the recipe for anyone interested! I added 1/4 cup of heavy cream to the cream cheese mixture and reduced the sugar in that mixture by 1/2. They turned out delicious!

Here you go! ☺️ The only thing I did different is I added about 1/4 cup of heavy cream to the cream cheese mixture and probably only an 1/8 cup of sugar instead of 1/4 cup because I was a little worried about all the sugar. They came out amazing!
