Description

I threw these together this morning, and they turned out pretty good. Next time I'll use a larger lemon for more zest and a deeper flavor. These are small bars, but when you need a bit of a sweet treat, they hit the spot.

Ingredients

  • 1 stk Butter
  • 4 oz Cream Cheese
  • 1 c Sugar Substitute
  • 1 t vanilla
  • 1 lemon zest
  • 2 c Almond Meal

Instructions

Soften butter and cream cheese.

Mix together with 1/4 tsp liquid Splenda, or your choice of a/s to equal 1 cup of sweetener. Be sure to add in the carbs.

Add vanilla, and the zest and juice of 1 lemon. (My last lemon was small, this could use more zest.)

Stir in blanched almond meal.

Put in a 9" square buttered baking pan. Bake at 350 degrees F until brown on top, about 1/2 hour, but check at 20 minutes, depending on your oven.

Cut into 16 squares.

Notes

This recipe might also work as a crust for a cheesecake. I'll have to try it and let you know.
