Cream Cheese Coffee Cake With Glaze Icing
I can pretty much eat anything that has cream cheese in it. Growing up in Denver, we would leave our high school campus (we were allowed to :)) and eat at a place called La Petite Boulangerie. They had the most scrumptious bagels and a cream cheese croissant that was to die for. I lived for lunchtime (well, I still do).
Since I made this cream cheese coffee cake, the neighborhood kids have walked through several times asking for another piece. It’s some pretty good stuff. It makes a delicious treat for a potluck, any type of party, or for a dessert at home. You may want to keep it all to yourself. The cream cheese coffee cake tastes amazing warmed up, as well.
I am a cream cheese girl through and through, and this cream cheese pesto crescent braid is one of those appetizers that disappears before you can even set it on the table. It’s buttery, flaky, and packed with that rich, herby pesto flavor.
