If you like cheesecake, youâll love this light dessert. Walnuts lend a subtle nutty taste to the crust, and honey and lemon make the creamy topping delicious. âEdna 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.
