I love this recipe because it got me an A one week in my Newspaper In Classroom class back in high school. If we made a recipe we found in the newspaper, and the teacher liked it, he'd grade us well. My teacher's questionable grading practices aside, this is a great recipe! Ingredients:
1/3 cup packed brown sugar |
1/2 cup chopped walnuts |
1 cup all-purpose flour |
1/3 cup melted butter |
8 ounces cream cheese, softened |
1/4 cup sugar |
1 whole egg |
1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon rind |
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice |
1 tablespoon vanilla extract |
1 tablespoon cream |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 300F; spray 8x8 pan with non-stick pan spray, set aside.
2. In food processor, combine brown sugar, nuts, and flour.
3. Add melted butter& blend until crumbly (or combine all with a pastry blender).
4. Reserve 3/4c for topping; press remainder firmly in prepared pan.
5. Bake for approx 10-12 minutes.
6. Meanwhile beat cream cheese and sugar in a medium bow; add remaining ngredients and beat until smooth.
7. Pour cheese mixture onto crust; top with reserved crumbs and bake another 25-30 minutes.
8. Cool; cut into squares.
