Rich & buttery blondie batter is taken to a whole new level. Meghan McGarry merges the classic flavors of blondies and strawberry cheesecake by creaming together goat cheese and strawberry jam. The result is a tangy, yet sweet and smooth filling. It's all swirled together in beautiful swooping rings and baked to a golden brown.
