Cream cheese filling
Instructions
Step 1
Bring cream cheese to room temperature. Beat filling ingredients until smooth, using beaters if you can for optimum smoothness. Set aside. Preheat the oven to 180C. Grease or line a 9×5 loaf pan.
Step 2
Whisk all bread ingredients in a bowl, and stir until just evenly combined. Spread about 2/3 of the batter into the pan, smooth the filling on top, then cover with remaining batter. Sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top if desired.
Step 3
Bake on the center rack 50 minutes, then keep door closed but turn off oven and let sit an additional 10 minutes before removing from the oven. If you can wait, I recommend very loosely covering and refrigerating overnight
