Fig Berries Cream Cheese Loaf




I came across this fabulous cream cheese loaf recipe this afternoon from My Kitchen Snippets. The recipe is so easy that you can really make it in less than 5 minutes (pre-baking)! Since I have some figs, blueberries and strawberries in the fridge, I decided to throw everything together in the loaf!

The results was wonderful. It will be a perfect afternoon tea snack for both of us or even breakfast!

Ingredients:
5 oz of low fat cream cheese

1 egg - yolk and white separated

2 tbsp of powder sugar (use more sugar if you have sweet tooth ;) )
1/2 cup fresh berries (use blueberries, strawberries) and fig

1 (11 oz) tube of bread stick dough (Pillsbury)


Glaze

1/2 cup of powder sugar

2 tbsp of lemon juice


Method
1) Preheat oven to 350F
2) Mix together cream cheese, powder sugar and egg yolk

3) Unroll breadstick dough into a rectangular shape (you need to press the seam together - tightly!)

4) Spread 2) mixture on the center of the dough
5) Put berries and fig over the cream cheese evenly

6) Start from the top and bring and braid dough strip to cover the filling
7) Beat the egg white and brush it all over the loaf. Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown. Cool the loaf.
8) Combined the powder sugar and lemon juice. Drizzle all over the cool loaf before serving

Hope you enjoy it!
