Cream Cheese Chocolate Bread

After almost eight months of blogging, I finally came to the decision! Yes, in the future, my blog will not just be a place where you can find sweet treats. Starting today, you can expect some savory recipes! And you can just imagine what was the reason of this decision. Of course, my husband. After more than two months of constant rambling about how he can’t take of the six pounds that he put on since I’m blogging intensively, I decided to change the decision which was brought a long time ago. My OMG chocolate little place will not be the holy ground for “chocolate only” desserts and things like that. I hope you have nothing against that 🙂

Maybe you were expecting, when I already came to a decision like that, I will give you a salty recipe right away. Well, you are wrong. Just to counter my husband, today we will have another sweet chocolaty recipe – Cream Cheese Chocolate Bread. I know he does not really love sweet breads, so this sweet dessert was only for my breakfast.

And what should you do to get this sweet thing? Nothing complicated. Just make a mix for bread with a little cocoa and sour cream and put it in half a loaf pan. Over that, add a row of sweet cream cheese mix and the rest pour over with another layer of dough for bread. Of course, over all of that, you should put a load of chocolate chips and you are ready for baking.

Voilaaaa, the perfect breakfast for those who love chocolate and bread  –  Cream Cheese Chocolate Bread ! And not only for breakfast. I had a few pieces after lunch, a little more before going to sleep, and the next day I had only memories and a few photos of my chocolate bread.

Enjoy and, as commanded by my husband, see you soon in some savory adventure!
