Jeanette's 100 Calorie Cheesecake Bars

Ok, these are super yummy! And they are about 100 calories if you cut them up into 24 bars.

1/3 cup butter softened
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup chopped walnuts (I don't like walnuts so I used almonds and it was still good!)
1 cup flour
1/4 cup white sugar
8 oz reduced fat cream cheese softened
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Preheat oven to 350

For pastry: cream butter and brown sugar, add in flour, nuts and mix until crumbly. Set aside 1/4 cup for topping. Press remaining mixture into an 8x8 ungreased pan and bake for 12-15 minutes. Cool on wire rack.

For cream filling: Beat white sugar and cream cheese until smooth, stir in egg, milk, lemon juice and vanilla and mix well. Spread over crust, sprinkle reserved pastry mixture over the top.

Bake 25-30 minutes. Cool and refrigerate before serving.

Yummy served alone or with fruit.
