Hey there Amanda~ These look & sound fantastic, & it’s also the first time I’ve seen cream cheese in a browned butter recipe~ yum! I’m wondering if it’s a good idea to allow the browned butter to cool a bit, prior to mixing in the cream cheese? Part of me thinks it might want to separate if I try adding it in right away. Did you have any issue w/that step? Thanks, in advance, for any further info you care to share. Have an awesome wknd too🌼-Samantha
