Cream Cheese Topping and Almond Croissant Blondie

AI said it's not possible to add flour and leavening to cream cheese, that it can not be done but I did. 

Below recipe, I used it to top my "Almond Croissant Blondie bars".  

Note:If not adding flour to the cream cheese mixture, omit the leavening agents.

1 block cream cheese

3 c powdered sugar

1/2 c AP or Bread flour (optional)

2 Eggs 

2 tsp Baking powder (optional)

1 tsp B soda (optional)

2 tsps flavoring extract like almond or vanilla, etc 

* 1/2 c slivered or crushed almonds. 

* 1/3 c powdered sugar

Mix and stir until smooth except last 2 * ingredients. Set aside.

Almond Croissant Blondie bars:

1 Yellow or white or butter cake mix

3/4 c AP or bread flour (optional)

1/4 c milk or almond milk or water (Don't add if you're not adding the flour) 

1 stick plus 1/2 stick of melted butter or 3/4 c neutral cooking oil.

2 lg eggs

1 t B powder (Don't add if 

1 t almond extract

In a large bowl, mix and stir everything until smooth. Spread equally in a 9 x 13 oiled, baking pan.

Spread the cream cheese topping equally on the batter. Sprinkle the almonds. 

Bake for 25 to 30 minutes in a preheated oven at 350°F. 

Let it cool for 20 minutes before cutting into bars.
