1.  Melt xylitol in a sauce pan over medium high heat.
2.  Soften cream cheese in the microwave.
3.  Combine xylitol and cream cheese in a small bowl.
4.  Pour over brownies just before serving.

  1. Baking powder is cream of tartar and a starch, right? So this would be a P4, and not a P3 dish?

  2. Shelly - I used a 6x7 I believe, but use the smallest pan you can find, even with my small pan they still came out rather thin

    Wendy - I suppose that's correct, however it's such a small amount I wouldn't worry too much about it.
