Creamy Lemon Squares

Creamy Lemon Squares

 


Ingredients:

  • 20 NILLA Wafers, finely crushed
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup cold margarine {I used butter}
  • 1 pkg. (8 oz.) PHILADELPHIA cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 Tbsp flour
  • 3 Tbsp. lemon zest, divided
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 tsp. baking powder
  • 2 tsp. powdered sugar

Directions:
  • Preheat oven to 350ºF. Line an 8×8 pan with foil. Mix first 3 ingredients in medium bowl. Cut in margarine until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Press the crumbs onto the bottom of the prepared pan and bake for 15 minutes.
  • While the crust is baking, beat Neufchatel and granulated sugar with mixer until well blended. Add eggs one at a time and 2 Tbsp. flour; mix well. Blend in 1 Tbsp. zest, juice and baking powder; pour over crust.
  • Bake for 25 to 28 min. or until center is set. Let cool completely then refrigerate for 2 hours. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and remaining zest before serving.
