Ingredients:

4 lobster tails
4 tbsp butter, divided
4 garlic cloves, minced
½ cup heavy cream
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tbsp lemon juice

Prep the Lobster Tails: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Use kitchen shears to make a lengthwise cut at the top of each lobster shell. Carefully lift the meat out, resting it atop the shell.
Season: Sprinkle salt, pepper, and a bit of melted butter over each tail.
Bake: Arrange the tails on a baking tray and cook in the oven for 8-10 minutes, until the lobster is firm and opaque.
Craft the Sauce: In a skillet on medium heat, melt the remaining butter. Add garlic and sauté until it's aromatic. Pour in the heavy cream and Parmesan, and let it simmer until thick. Incorporate the lemon juice, and season with salt and pepper to your liking.
Finish and Serve: Spoon the rich garlic butter sauce over the cooked lobster tails and garnish with parsley.

Sweet Potato Cream Cheese Brownies with Praline Spread Recipe 😋🍠 🤌
Ingredients:
For the Brownies:

1 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 large eggs
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup mashed sweet potatoes (about 1 medium sweet potato, cooked and mashed)
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
For the Cream Cheese Layer:

8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Praline Spread:

1/2 cup pecans, finely chopped
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1/4 cup heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions:
Prepare the Brownies:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, mix together the melted butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Fold in the mashed sweet potatoes and semi-sweet chocolate chips.
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly.
Prepare the Cream Cheese Layer:

In a medium bowl, beat together the cream cheese, granulated sugar, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Drop spoonfuls of the cream cheese mixture over the brownie batter. Use a knife or skewer to swirl the cream cheese layer into the brownie batter.
Bake the Brownies:

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean (a few moist crumbs are okay).
Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
Prepare the Praline Spread:

In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Stir in the brown sugar and heavy cream, and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture is smooth and begins to thicken (about 3-4 minutes).
Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and chopped pecans. Allow to cool slightly before spreading.
Spread the Praline Topping:

Once the brownies are completely cool, spread the praline topping evenly over the top.
Serve and Enjoy:
