Friend or Foe?

If you are gifted the starter for Amish Friendship Bread, is the gifter a friend or a foe with a trojan horse? You see, it's another round of this bread but it just never ends. ;) Today, I tried cheesecake pudding as the main flavouring and then added 2 handfuls of dried cranberries and one handful of white chocolate chips. As usual, I cut the sugar all the way to a scant 1/4 cup. Amazingly, I liked it! It has a very subtle fruity flavor and interestingly enough, it doesn't really taste like cheesecake. If you don't hate walnuts as I do, I suggest adding a few walnuts as I think it would be nice contrast to the fruit. =P What I particularly like about this version is it doesn't taste too artificial. I find that amazing since it's cheesecake out of a box in powder form. Nevertheless, I'm thinking maybe the vanilla and cheesecake flavours sorta melded together to enhance the fruity flavour. Also, plumper cranberries would have been better (like Trader Joe's brand) for a bigger bite of fruit and thus more flavour.

The previous versions I've made so far were lemon with lemon oil, walnuts and cranberries; pistachio with pistachio nuts; butterscotch with white chocolate chips. With the starter, I also made cinnamon buns and biscuits. Both are a giant YUCK!!! I was going to try other stuff too but forget it! I'm sticking to the sweet bread. The last bit of pudding I left are chocolate and banana. Let's see how that will turn out when I'm ready for another go.
