<\/a><\/p>\nSummer Fruit Bruschetta with Banana Bread and Cream Cheese Vanilla sauce<\/h2>\n
The sauce:<\/p>\n
3 ounces cream cheese, softened
\n1\/4 cup brown sugar
\n2 teaspoons vanilla
\n1 dash of cinnamon
\n1 cup yogurt (plain or vanilla)<\/p>\n
Combine the cream cheese, brown sugar and vanilla.\u00a0 Blend well — easier if using a hand mixer, but will come out smooth with just a bit of elbow work.\u00a0 Add the yogurt and mix until smooth.\u00a0 Refrigerate for 1\u00a0 hour.<\/p>\n
1 chopped Banana
\n2 fresh peaches or nectarines, chopped
\n1\/2 cup fresh raspberries
\n1\/2 lime
\n4 slices of thick banana bread<\/p>\n
Prepare the fruits, combining the bananas, peaches and raspberries in a bowl.\u00a0 Mix in the lime juice and refrigerate (up to 2 hours).<\/p>\n
Once you are ready to serve, plate the banana bread, with pile of the mixed fruit on top, and a drizzle of the vanilla cream cheese sauce.\u00a0 Serve immediately.<\/p>\n
Some variations<\/p>\n
- \n
- Toast the banana bread just prior to serving<\/li>\n
- I’ve not had banana bread in the house, and have substituted this with cinnamon flavored bagels, or cinnamon bread.<\/li>\n
- Sprinkle finely chopped pecans over top, after the sauce is drizzled on<\/li>\n
- Make this fall inspired by using apples, raisins and walnuts, and\u00a0 use pumpkin bread.\u00a0 Add a bit of fresh (canned) pumpkin to the sauce<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
