Summary
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.
