So for the longest time, I was a coffee faker.

What’s a coffee faker? It’s someone who says they like coffee to impress people but secretly don’t even drink it because it’s too strong. (Being a teenager is hard, okay? I had to impress people where I could… even if it was lying about a coffee obsession.)

My “coffee” was limited to frappes at the local coffee shop which didn’t even have coffee in them. I only got them because I loved all the fun flavors available.

…And then I was introduced to coffee creamers, and my life has changed dramatically for the better, obviously. I started slowly introducing coffee into my morning routine, filled with copious amounts of coffee creamer (AKA, the only way to drink coffee, in my not-so-humble opinion). And to this day, I still can’t have a cup o’ joe without having coffee creamer. It’s, well, the creamer to my coffee. The peanut butter to my jelly. The dog to my bone. You get it, right?

Anyway, as a new ambassador for International Delight, I am SO EXCITED to be bringing you fun recipes made with coffee creamer! If you’ve only considered creamer good for coffee, I’m about to blow your mind, y’all. Coffee creamer is an excellent addition to so many desserts – think about adding it instead of milk to milkshakes as a baby-steps option… and then come back and quickly make these Sweet Cream Gooey Bars!

Sweet Cream Gooey Bars

Author: Hayley Parker, The Domestic Rebel

Recipe type: Bars

Prep time: 10 mins

Cook time: 40 mins

Total time: 50 mins

Serves: 15-18

These Sweet Cream Gooey Bars are one of my new favorite recipes! The filling is so gooey and fabulous and tastes just like melty vanilla ice cream from your favorite upscale parlor.

Ingredients

FOR THE BASE:
1 box French vanilla or white cake mix
½ cup (1 stick) butter, melted
1 large egg
FOR THE FILLING:
One 8 ounce pkg cream cheese, softened
3 large eggs
One 16 ounce box powdered sugar
1 Tbsp vanilla bean paste (or sub 2 tsp vanilla extract)
⅓ International Delight Sweet Cream Coffee Creamer
¼ cup butter, melted
Additional powdered sugar for dusting on baked bars, optional

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9×13” rectangular baking pan with foil and spray with cooking spray. Set aside.
Mix together the crust ingredients until a soft dough comes together. Press into the prepared pan in an even layer; set aside briefly.
Cream the cream cheese until fluffy, about 30 seconds. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition and scraping down the bowl if needed. Beat in the powdered sugar, followed by the creamer, melted butter, and vanilla bean paste.
Pour the filling over the crust and bake for 37-45 minutes or until mostly set. If the center jiggles slightly, that’s okay – you don’t want to over-bake them as they’ll continue to set as they cool.
Cool completely then refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until set. Dust with additional powdered sugar before serving.
