2 1/2 tablespoons sugar

Fold into the cheese mix and pour into an angel food tin or spring mold that has been greased with butter and dusted with graham cracker or vanilla wafer crumbs.

When cool, invert on a serving tray and spread with whipped sour cream. Can be served plain or as a nice variation with a faint sprinkling of cinnamon or walnut meat dust.

1/2 cup melted butter

2 squares bitter chocolate, melted

1/2 teaspoon salt

3/4 cup sifted all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon vanilla

Beat eggs slightly; add sugar and stir. Add melted butter and chocolate. Mix flour, salt and nutmeats and add to egg mixture. Add vanilla and stir until well blended, but do not beat.

Pour into a well-buttered 9-inch pan. Bake at 325 degrees for 30 to 35 minutes. Cool and cut in 2-inch fingers. Roll in powdered sugar.

Hint: When making your favorite brownie recipe, coconut substituted for the nuts is a nice change.
