With a very rich, creamy cheesecake filling over a thick nutty crust, it's not difficult to figure out why people love these bars so much! Ingredients:
1 cup king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1/2 cup ground walnuts |
3 tablespoons brown sugar blend |
1/4 cup cold butter |
filling: |
4 ounces reduced-fat cream cheese |
4 ounces fat-free cream cheese |
1/3 cup sugar |
2 teaspoons king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1/4 cup egg substitute |
2 tablespoons fat-free milk |
1 tablespoon lemon juice |
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract |
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, combine the flour, walnuts and brown sugar blend; cut in butter until crumbly. Set aside 2/3 cup for topping; press remaining crumb mixture into an 8-in. square baking dish coated with cooking spray. Bake at 350° for 9-11 minutes or until lightly browned.
2. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, beat the cream cheeses, sugar and flour until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg substitute, milk, lemon juice and vanilla just until blended. Pour over crust; sprinkle with reserved crumb mixture.
3. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until filling is set. Cool on a wire rack for 1 hour. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Cut into bars. Refrigerate leftovers. Yield: 9 servings.
