If you gingerbread isn’t sporting a gigantic cheesecake swirl then you’re probably doin’ your holiday eats all wrong.

Just an FYI that this is just about the most amazing thing you’ve ever seen. No biggie.

Nary a speck of frosting in sight because it’s SO not even needed. I prefer to let the pure amazingness that is the combo of soft, spiced gingerbread + creamy cheesecake swirl speak for themselves.

Plus this doubles duty as breakfast or dessert, guys. Or BOTH! Hey, it’s December! The cheat-ingest month of the year. I’m in full support.

Two parts involved in this gingerbread cheesecake swirl quick bread. Batter + swirl. And I pinky PROMISE that the cheesecake swirl is 1000x easier than it looks

  1. Gingerbread batter. It’s so simple but it makes the homiest, softest, best-ever gingerbread. Almost as good as grandma’s, but c’mon. We all know nothing will ever beat that.
  2. Maybe cheesecake swirl can come in a close second? Pour half of your gingerbread batter into a loaf pan then dollop the filling on top. Top with the rest of the batter, then use a knife to gently swirl the two.

Careful not to go overboard on the swirling though, guys. You’ll lose the pretty as HECK swirl effect.

And it is, indeed, just about the prettiest as heck thing your holiday brunch  menu is gonna have on it.

You won’t even believe how good the contrast of the creamy cheesecake and spicy gingerbread goes together. Insanely good and you must devour at least an entire loaf solo to understand my point.

2 million pieces later……??
