If you like cheesecake, you’ll love this light dessert. Walnuts lend a subtle nutty taste to the crust, and honey and lemon make the creamy topping delicious. —Edna Hoffman, Hebron, Indiana
Ingredients:
1 cup king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup cold butter, cubed
1/2 cup finely chopped walnuts
filling:
1 package (8 ounces) reduced-fat cream cheese
1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons milk
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 egg, lightly beaten
additional honey, optional
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, combine flour and brown sugar. Cut in butter until crumbly. Stir in walnuts. Press onto the bottom of an 8-in. square baking dish coated with cooking spray. Bake at 350° for 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned.
2. For filling, in a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, honey, milk, lemon juice and vanilla until blended. Add egg; beat on low speed just until combined. Pour over crust. Bake 20-25 minutes longer or until set. Cool completely on a wire rack. Drizzle with additional honey if desired. Cut into bars. Refrigerate leftovers. Yield: 16 bars.
