This delightful dessert combines the classic flavors of banana bread with the creamy richness of cream cheese, creating a mouthwatering treat that is sure to impress.
The process of making cream cheese stuffed banana bread is quite simple. Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and greasing a loaf pan. In a large bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, cream together butter, sugar, and eggs until smooth. Stir in the bananas and vanilla extract. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
Now, it’s time to add the cream cheese stuffing. In a separate bowl, beat together cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Using a spoon or piping bag, dollop the cream cheese mixture onto the banana bread batter. Carefully swirl the cream cheese into the batter using a knife or skewer, creating a marbled effect.
Place the loaf pan in the oven and bake for about 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Once done, remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. After that, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
The cream cheese stuffed banana bread is best enjoyed warm or at room temperature. You can serve it on its own, or top it with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream for an extra touch of indulgence. This dessert is perfect for a cozy evening or as a delightful treat for any occasion.
