I appreciate that not everyone loves to bake from scratch like I do. This recipe would work wonderfully for those that don't like to spend a lot of time fussing with dough that needs to rise. With that being said, the recipe has given me a great idea for my next filled braided bread. I need to think on the cream cheese, whipping it up with probably some powdered sugar and vanilla, spreading it down the middle with raspberries on top, then braiding. Sounds delicious!
Sounds good! going to give it a try
Made with a sweetened cream cheese, egg, and orange zest filling in addition to 2-3 cups of frozen raspberries. I didn't let them thaw, just popped them in frozen. I didn't add any frosting or glaze as the cream cheese filling added a nice flavor and sweetener. I made it the night before and tried it warm. It was good, slightly better than the next morning (after spending the night in the fridge), but not so much better that I need to get up super early to make it in the morning instead.

I substituted and put in raspberries, strawberries, and blueberries. Tasted good, my braid wasn't the best but oh we'll.

I made my own frosting as suggested and drizzled it over straight out of the oven. Came out delicious. It was a little more involved than I anticipated though, so I wouldn't recommend this if you have divided attention in the morning, but if you have a half an hour to dedicate to prep, do it, your family will thank you!
This braid is much better with a powdered sugar frosting like I suggested when I submitted this recipe - mix 1/4 cup butter (or 2 TBLS. each of cream cheese and butter) , about 1 cup powdered sugar, 1 tsp vanilla and some milk to make the frosting smooth. spread over entire braid when it is still a bit warm. So much better than just a tiny drizzle of not so good purchased frosting! - Tressa*You can also use frozen berries but do not thaw first, use them straight from the freezer, or just use fresh berries*
