Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 8 oz. reduced fat cream cheese
- 1 1/4 cup Lemon Curd (homemade or store bought)
- 1 tsp vanilla
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Line a 9x9 pan with parchment paper, set aside. In a large microwave safe bowl melt butter. Stir in sugars until well combined.
- Mix in flour stirring until crumbly.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer with a paddle attachment (or a bowl for a hand mixer) whip the cream cheese until it is smooth (this can take several minutes, so just be patient), scraping the sides as needed.
- Add in lemon curd & vanilla and whip again until it smooth. Take 3/4 of the butter mixture and press into the prepared pan, bringing up the sides as you can.
- Pour in cream cheese mixture and spread it until it is even. Crumble remaining butter mixture over the top.
- Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes or until lightly browned.
- Place directly into refrigerator for at least 1 hour up to several days (making sure to cover it after it is completely cooled).
- Cut into bars, sprinkle with powder sugar if you would like.
