Lemon Cream Cheese Bars with Peanut Flour Crust



Filling Ingredients:
1 (8 oz) container  Neufchatel Cheese - 1/3 Less Fat Than Cream Cheese
4 Tbsp. Butter
7-9 Tbsp. Coconut Secret - Raw Coconut Flour
4 Large Eggs - Egg
1/4 cup Lemon juice (if you want more of a lemon / zing flavor, add more lemon juice!)
1/4 cup Splenda No Calorie Sweetner - Granulated for Cooking & Baking
Peanut Crust Ingredients:
1/2 cup Protein Plus Peanut Flour
2 Tbsp. Butter
1 Tbsp. Splenda No Calorie Sweetner - Granulated for Cooking & Baking


Directions:
Preheat oven to 350* F.
Combine the first 6 ingredients and blend thoroughly.  You may want to use butter at room temperature or melted.
For the Peanut Flour Crust, combine the last 3 ingredients.  You may want to use butter at room temperature or melted.
Spray bottom of square (8' x 8') pan with Pam or other non-stick cooking spray.
Push crust mixture into bottom of pan.  This is a thin crust and requires quite a bit of spreading.  If you want to increase your calories, you can double the recipe for the crust.
Once crust is in place, pour the filling on top and smooth the top as you like.
Bake for 20-30 minutes (or until the center seems solid to you).

(I got this recipe from Deanna Kerick's blog....  http://keepmethin.blogspot.com/2012/04/lemon-cream-cheese-bars-with-peanut.html )
