Venango County Features Three Sponsored Dessert Recipes Today | JQJO

Venango County, Pennsylvania: exploreVenango.com published a Recipe of the Day featuring the Berry-Patch Brownie Pizza. The recipe calls for a 9-by-13-inch pan size package of fudge brownie mix, 1/3 cup chopped unblanched almonds and 1 teaspoon almond extract to be folded into the batter. It also lists an 8-ounce package of softened cream cheese, 1 tablespoon sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/2 teaspoon grated lemon peel, 2 cups whipped topping and mixed fresh berries as the topping components. The site instructs cooks to preheat the oven to 375°F and to spread the prepared brownie batter into a greased 14-inch pizza pan before baking.

ExploreVenango.com specifies a 15- to 18-minute bake time for the crust and cooling on a wire rack. For the topping, the site directs readers to beat the cream cheese with sugar, vanilla and lemon peel until smooth, fold in the whipped topping, and spread the mixture over the cooled crust to within 1/2 inch of the edges before arranging berries. The finished dessert should be refrigerated for two to three hours. The Recipe of the Day feature is sponsored by Top Tier Federal Credit Union, which the article links to, and readers may submit recipes to [email protected].
