How to Make Southern Sweet Cream Cheese Bites
- Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C).
- In a large bowl, combine 1 box (15.25 oz) yellow cake mix, 1/2 cup (1 stick) melted unsalted butter, 1 large egg, and 1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional). Mix until just combined.
- Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking dish. Pour the cake batter into the prepared dish and spread evenly.
- In a separate bowl, beat together 8 oz cream cheese (softened), 1/2 cup powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/4 cup heavy cream until smooth and creamy.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cake batter in the baking dish.
- Bake uncovered for 70 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out with moist crumbs.
- Let cool completely in the pan before refrigerating for at least 30 minutes. This intensifies the flavors and makes cutting easier.
- Cut into small squares and serve chilled. Enjoy!
