Cheesecake Bars

A delicious rich and creamy dessert. I also found this recipe to be extremely easy.

Cheesecake Bars

1/3 Cup Butter, softened
1/3 Cup packed brown sugar
1/3 Cup chopped walnuts (omitted)
1 Cup siften all-purpose flour
1/4 Cup white sugar
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 Tbsp lemon juice
2 Tbsp milk
1 egg
1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees

To make the pastry:

1. Cream together butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
2. Add in the flour and nuts (if using) and stir until mixture becomes crumbly.
3. Press the mixture into an 8 inch square baking dish and bake for 12-15 minutes.
4. Let cool on a wire rack.

To make the filling:

1. Beat together the white sugar and cream cheese until smooth.
2. Stir in the egg, milk, lemon juice, and vanilla mixing well.
3. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over baked crust.
4. Bake for 25-30 minutes.
5. Let cool on a wire rack.

Keep refrigerated.

A possible variation to this recipe would be to top with your favorite pie topping (i.e. cherry, strawberry, apple, or blueberry etc.)
