Did you have a great holiday?
What did you get? I always love hearing people’s favorite gift :)I got the sparkly pink Kitchen Aid that I have been dreaming about.
It was a good day.
And I’ve eaten pretty much nonstop for 4 days of whatever and however much I wanted. That means Red Velvet Cheesecake cake for breakfast, lunch and dinner, with a little protein thrown in to balance the sugar headaches. That was my Christmas gift to myself…4 days of eating with no abandon. It was a success.
I got my husband an iPhone 4S for Christmas and he is currently in a battle against Siri. He spent half an hour asking Siri for directions to the supermarket that is 10 minutes from our house (that he’s been to no less that 4 million times). Old broad wouldn’t budge. She wasn’t gonna lead him there, no matter what.
I think she knew that he was just testing her, so she balked. Makes sense if you ask me.
And my kids got…well, pretty much everything. So yeah, we’ve had a nice holiday.
Now, moving forward, as we have to do, we have New Years Eve to think about.
Homemade Coconut Cream Cheese Frosting Recipe
Whether or not you are the fancy party goer (not me), the casual party goer (yes me) or the stay at home and enjoy with the family kinda goer, you need to have treats. Nothing rings in the New Year better than brownies covered in frosting. It’s a thing, trust me. So, how about trying some Coconut Cream Cheese Frosting?
Sounds good, huh?
I found this cool stuff at the supermarket (that I eventually found without Siri’s help).
It’s Cream of Coconut in a super easy squeeze bottle.

Also, have you guys tried those Almond Joy pieces? They are SO good! So here’s all I did.
I baked some brownies. You can use a boxed my OR make my Perfect Fudgy Brownie Recipe!
Then I made frosting, which is a cream cheese coconut frosting that you will DIE FOR it’s so good!
Oh, and since I was feeling crazy I sprinkled some of those yummy Almond Joy Pieces on top. Yup.

You always dream up the greatest treats, and find the best new stuff. I’m going to have to pay closer attention at the grocery store:) Your brownies look wonderful! Happy New Year!
Guess I’d better make these before the New Year’s Resolution begins!!
Looks delish! I got a sparkly kitchen aid for Christmas too! Except mine is red! I’m dying to use it!! (today’s the day!)
oh wow. I think I just died and gone to heaven. Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to go on the hunt for cream of coconut. I will not return unless victorious!
Just to clarify — that bottle says “Simply Squeeze Coco Real.” Are you kidding me?! I think I might need that.
awesome brownies and i love coconut (my kids not so much so that means if i make coconut stuff i get to eat alot of it 🙂 I also got siri. she told me i can bury a body in a dump and gave me locations nearby—not sure if i’m glad that she gives me options or disturbed!
i’m making these for our office this week…and will officially be the most favorite person there! yum!
I am not kidding when I say I could eat cream cheese frosting with a spoon and never tire of it 🙂
same with really dark moist brownies!
and with coconut…perfect!
congrats on your new mixer!
I already have a kenwood mixer (no kitchen aid out here) but I’m super jealous you got the pink one!!! Kenwood is boring with white and silver version only *cry*
I got a waffle maker for Christmas from Santa and I also got a porcelain 3-tier cupcake platter from my fiance 🙂
So frosted brownies huh? I think I will try this.. I always make them plain and fudgy, so for new year’s I’ll try your version 🙂
Happy Holidays
oooh, a 3 tier cupcake platter sounds awesome!
Sounds like a wonderful Christmas for you! I love that mixer too! Pink is gorgeous and perfect for baking. I ate lots of things too..I love doing/eating whatever and blaming on the holidays hehe. My favourite gift was my new sewing machine! I’m now making a custom apron for baking 🙂
Awesome! I wish I knew how to sew. I have my grandma’s old machine but have no idea how to use it!!
